Hi James,
I am not living in England, but in Germany (its all European Union now, so no
customs for shipping goods anymore) and if I can help you in any way, just get
in contact with me.
I have a paypal account to which you can send money and think I can pay for
your parts from here.
To my knowledge you may not be able to open a bank account in England, as
English banks are very restrictive in that way. With German banks it is a
little better so far ;-).
I am several times a year in England, next to International Healey Weekend
Goodwood 16th to 18th May, and buy most of the parts I need at English dealers
and the clubs.

Betreff: [Healeys] Not Healey related. Parts in England.
This is a bit of an odd request but I don't know where else to turn for help.
One of the cars I am restoring is a 1951 Triumph Renown. I belong to the TROC
in England but due to their insurance company rules they will not sell parts
to the US. I have never heard of such foolishness from any other club but they
will not relent and they are the only source for vintage parts. I can arrange
to send pounds Sterling to the club to pay for the parts. So the question is
this. Is there an Healey member in England who could accept the box of parts
from the club and then reship it to me? Also is there a way to set up a bank
account in England without actually being there? Right now I only need a new
steering box. The club has rebuilt ones but unless I can make other
arraignments it looks like I will have to fly there and bring the parts back
with me on the plane. Of course I would be happy to cover any cost or
inconvenience. Any advice from the UK would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,
JL
