John :

BN7 10-15 is at a local park in Georgia.

This car was restored in 20 months, mostly in my garage.  An estimated 1200 hours went into it excluding the body work and paint.  She has won 6 First Place awards and a Best of Show in the last 14 months.  I have logged over 2500 miles in that period and recently added a 3.54 rearend to enhance crusing and XM Radio.  We compete in event Rallies and Gymkhanas because Healeys are made to be driven.  Looking forward to Vermont in 2007!

Didier :

John your car is splendid

This photograph was at Southeast Classic in 2005 in North Georgia.

Gerry Coker was the guest of honor there and really enjoyed visiting and seeing my BN7.  His comment to me about the restoration was " Very well done, but the door gaps were too good." 

The picture is complimented by having Gerry Coker pose with me and the BN7.

Didier :

And your comments are really very interesting.

As you can see, I am very proud of her and love to drive.  In fact, today would be a great day for a drive as it is cool and sunny.

Thanks for posting your website and allowing others to submit photos.  This is a great way of promoting the Austin Healey and creating exciitement about our cars. 

Didier :

Thanks John

Didier, I wanted to share recent pictures of my BN7 with you.  I have added a factory 2 seater hardtop with Rally Vent.  I just completed the complete restoration with new paint, seals, weather stripping, headliner and hardware.  I like the new look and just in time to show at Conclave in Burlington, VT.  Note the side curtains in place, too.

Didier :

Marvellous !!!!

in French "on dit extraodinaire - merveilleux"

Very nice car
