A friend in the New Forest Austin Healey Centre is restoring his BT7. The
Frame/body is currently in primer at Orchard Restorations awaiting paint
which will be Rosso Red (Colorado is too 'Orange' for our English taste)
over OEW. The completely assembled shell will be ready to take home for
rebuild of the prepared mechanicals in about two weeks.
Gordon (the owner) has a Heritage certificate and a VIN plate but there is
no aluminium Body/Batch tag normally fixed to the firewall above the VIN. It
isn't difficult to create one but it would be good to get the numbers as
close to correct as possible. According to the Heritage the car was built
between 10&12 February 1960. It has a VIN number of BT7L-7568. The Heritage
also reports that the Body number was 7563.
I know it's a long shot, but would anyone be able to give an indication of
what the Batch number might be? Even a ball-park figure would be good so
that we can produce something passable.
Thanks for your help.
