Hi Mirek,
I am the lucky owner of a 62 BT7, which was fitted with disk wheels as stated
on one certificate and with wire wheels on a later issued one.
So I can choose what I like and my car is always concours correct. I have both
wheel sets available. Its only some work to convert from one to the other.
And to the precision these cars were built: My BT7 has the same punched
numbers on hood and trunk lid, but on the hood catch it is one digit
difference, to say it is B543 on the lids and B542 on the catch. So I assume
car B542 has got the catch B543 of my car at the assembly line.
Cheers
Josef Eckert

Betreff: [Healeys] dissapointing news
Oh well, it was too good to be true. Turns out that the British Motor
Industry Heritage Trust had made a mistake on my Heritage Certificate and my
beloved BT7 was in fact made and dispatched in late 1959, not 1969, so I do
not have the last Healey ever made.
Joking aside, the BMIHT gave great service. Once I emailed them pointing out
the mistake, they only asked for the Certificate number and re-issued a
corrected one right away which arrived in about 10 days - with the promise I
destroy the old one, which I did. Good on them for trusting me to wreck the
old one and correcting the error so quickly.
Cheers,
Mirek
60 BT7
