Hello Didier

I had an earlier MkII BT7 when I was a student at Trinity College, Dublin.

Didier :

Hello Simon

very nice photo, I like this colors !!

Carmine red original ?

Simon :

My father said that I was mad and that it would eat me alive. He was right. Now, forty odd years later, I’ve had this one for about 10 years.

It’s in better condition than the other one ever was! It’s a late one, so it has a centre shift box and, very rare for a BT7, a factory fitted servo. I’ve done quite a bit to it …..3:54 diff, 28% overdrive, ported head with big bore down pipes, HD6 carbs, fast road cam, side exit exhaust, a few suspension mods, “123 Ignition” distributor etc etc.

I have a Porsche 944 S2 which is nice enough, but it’s not a match for the Healey! (Except – just maybe – in a corner!!).

Thanks for the opportunity to appear on your excellent site. I hope to take the car over to France for a tour one day so…Vive La France!
