Hi everybody,
new member writing from south sunny Spain. Bought and imported a 1963 Austin Healey 3000 MkII (BJ7) from Florida some two years ago, and I just started the restoration a few weeks ago ... and I already have some questions I'll post in the AH forum ...
The car looks to be in a 'not too bad' state for its age and use, although I thought I was going to have less work before starting the restoration, looks as if the car was hit and poorly repaired during its life, but as I said I'll ask some questions about it in the car's forum.
First thing I did after importing and licensing the car over, was to ask for the Heritage certificate to try to get as much info as I could on the car's history, and it has provided some info. The car was built during the end of 1962-beginning of 1963 and despatched on the 7th of February of 1963 to Inskip Inc. (New York), which I believe still exists. I was thinking in writting them just to see if they could give me some info on who bought the car from them, but I guess it might be a difficult task with all the data protection rules nowadays. The guy I bought the car from also gave the name and email from the guy he bought it from, but unfortunately all the emails I have written to him have been rejected back.
Anyway here's a pic of the car:

Meanwhile just wanted to say hi to everybody around.
