Greetings,

I need some assistance in finding the current owner or whereabouts of BN2L232869! I purchased this car in 1967 in Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.A. as a high school junior and owned it until I went to graduate school. It was a great car and took me to many SCCA races as a spectator in the Midwest U.S. and as a high school senior a buddy and I participated in SCCA road rally's. Thanks to the serial number and the photographs posted of the car there are a few very unique things that I would like to explain to the present owner, in particular the dashboard and where that hood came from. It would be great to have a conversation with him or her. As I side note, I would like to send him or her a copy of the 8" x 10" photo below taken in fall 1968 during a break in an SCCA road rally. I also have the car's original shift knob (Why did we replace those with the walnut shift knobs with the emblem on top!) Somewhere packed away I think I may have the original key fob and an original Healey patch.

My contact information is Don Connelly, d.sarnoff@frontier.com, 828-507-2351 U.S. Eastern Standard Time

Best Regards and thanks for any clues or help in locating the owner.
