There is no mention of rebuilding the motor either.

Now, now... vendor-bashing is against the rules. Let's keep it objective and factual.

What could have damaged the rails so badly they needed patches??? Do you suppose for an additional $5K he'll get the fender spears on right?

Do like the polished bellhousing and gearbox, though.

This is the car that started my question a short time ago about CKD cars ( completely knocked down ) as checking on the car number, which happens to be a BT7#, an earlier ad by a different vendor claimed that this car was assembled in Mexico. Thus the misappropriation of BT7 rather than BN7. Contacting the current seller, I was basically cut off from asking any questions. There are some questions that a new buyer should ask. It may be a nice car, but at the asking price it should have a pure, documented history.

Im betting that the original car was hit in the rear end and the frame from another car was very badly grafted onto the rear of the this car to make it driveable again .

Hi From our experience here in the UK, I tend to agree that it looks like a 4 seater BT7 that has been cut and a new BN7 2 seater back end fitted with associated shroud.
The VIN is obviously from a left hand drive BT7 but the number 11857 could be either a BN7 or BT7 as both had similar number ranges.
I own a 1962 MKII BN7 which was built by John Chatham in 1989 and taken in the group of 9 Healeys to the USA to race in the 1990 UK-USA Challenge.
My car is to the same spec as DD300 the ex Le mans car and is running on triple Webers. Now slightly detuned to give 250bhp at the flywheel and 200bhp at the wheels.
Its pictured in John Chatham's book on page 110 registered then as URX10.
It may be of interest but its believed that more BN7's exist now than were built originally.
