Hi Listers.
Please see the e mail below. Mike is planning to have some reproduction
Trafalgar Glass Bottles made and needs the exact measurement details.
If anyone has one of these would they be kind enough to contact me. Ideally
a diagram showing the key measurements and some jpg photos would be great.
If there are any listers who would be interested in acquiring one of the
reproductions, please contact me.
cheers
Derek

The oldest chestnut on the 100/6 most wanted list !
Derek - you have great pictures of both the bottle and the Trafalgar top on
www.healeysix.net, and as you know, these are like hen's teeth to find,
so.....
Living in a small village in the South of France, we have a local glass
blower who can make most things and has looked at your photos and pronounced
it as "pas un problem" including the "32" (fl oz ?) and texturing of the
base etc. Being in the aircraft overhaul business, we can engrave pretty
much anything and
Trafalgar top and logo etc present no problem.
I do not intend to go into business making reproduction Healey parts, but
Alphonse the glass blower is happy to make a couple of dozen, thus I thought
I would commission that small number, probably give them to Murray Scott
Nelson who is rebuilding my Longbridge BN4 100/6 (42754) but I do not have
an original to get the working dimensions from.
I am told they were 8.5" high and 3.75" in diameter, but I would be most
grateful, if you have access to the "jam jar" if you could be very kind and
get
me the exact dimensions. Unless of course you know I can get an original
bottle, in which case I would owe you the price and several glass bottles of
exceeding
good local wine !
Very much look forward to hearing from you,
Kind regards
Mike Davis
