I do believe Ifound the BT7 that my father restored back in 72,the ad is the just brits classifieds,found by accident,the owner had sold it. Would like to know if I should try to contact the new owner to see when down the road if he should decide to sell or not, should I persue this or kiss this goodbye. I do have the registration from 72 that has the vin. no. Thanks stinky
 
I think the new owner would be happy to hear from you. I would if it was me.

I'm sure the new owner would be interested in any old photos or history you could provide- I know I would be....
 
A few months ago, I tracked down the couple I bought my 1960 BT7 from back in 1963. They now live about 50 miles from my home. I called them and asked if they would like to see their car. They were delighted I had tracked them down (Thank you Mr. Internet) and we spent a wonderful afternoon talking about their early married life with the Healey and how sad they were to sell it when they started their family. I was suprised they still remembered how my father was not that excited about his 17 year old son (me) buying a sports car. We all took pictures and I promised to bring the car back next sping and let them take it for a spin with the top down.
Yes, make contact with the new owner. A car that has been a part of your family is worth trying to buy a second time.

Are you kidding? What a great idea, and the worst that could happen is the new owner says no.
