[Healeys] Frame number and serial number

[Randy Hicks]

Hi Steve, thanks for the response. Yours and Rich C.'s explanations  
make a lot of sense. It does, however, bring into question which is  
the last BN7 (or any model) built. We should be looking at build  
dates and not serial numbers if the cars were produced out of  
sequence.  ????

Might be an interesting question for Bill Bolton to look into.

You are also right about the build cards. I have the original build  
card for this BN7. The original owner of the car, who I bought it  
from, kept it all these years along with all original paperwork/ 
stickers. There are no additional dates on the card. Interestingly  
this Ivory White with Red Interior car went through the factory with  
a BLUE hardtop per the build sheet. The Blue hardtop never made it to  
the dealer in Chicago according to the original owner.

As I'm getting ready to restore it, I'm having some problems with the  
original build card color combinations.  :-)  It does look great with  
the black hardtop I have for it.

Thanks for the input.

Randy
