[Healeys] Lucas Reflectors

[Robert Markovich]

Thanks Roger. BTW, a gorgeous Primrose yellow BN6 you restored some years ago is for sale at Gullwing Motors, based in Queens NY. It’s a rare disc-wheel, non-OD car that still looks great. It is also shown in Bill Piggott’s book on the six-cylinder Healeys. And at under $50k, the price seems quite reasonable for such a nice and rare example.

Attached are the original reflectors on my BN1L 223867 built 15-Juoly-55 --  the red car..

  

The Chassis number is way out of synch with others in this range that were built in Jan-Feb 55.  However, the Body Number of 9820 is right in the middle of other BN1 body numbers built in July 1955.

  

This oddity of chassis number (which was assigned to match the Engine number when the engine was put into the body on the assembly line) is but one of many that I have found from the records I’ve been gathering for decades.

  

Also attached is the reflector on BN1L 224035 build 18-Feb-55.l  This is a car that has only around 45,000 miles on the clock.
