Hello Graeme
Still keeping the tally. I can tell you that a total of 11 BJ8s were delivered
new to Australia and of these one has gone to Japan and ten are still here. A
quick look at my records indicate that there are 371 (+ or - some) in Australia
now.

Congratulations Steve,
Keep up the good work I'm sure all we Bj8 owners appreciate it.
I certainly encourage all of the owners down under that I come across to send
you their Info if they haven't already done so.
Unfortunately they were never for sale originally in Aust and had to be a
special order but there have been lots of imports since and there are a
reasonable number of cars here now. Patrick might be able to tell you how many
as he was keeping a tally of all of the Healey's in Australia at one stage.
Afraid I'm one of the guilty ones having stolen a couple from the US over the
years
Cheers
Graeme M

Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some
includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020,
recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the
registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for
research.
The last by chassis number was 43026.
The last on the production line was 43000.
The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025.
The last BRG was 43020.
The last Healey Blue was 43021.
The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023.
The last Ivory White was 43026.
The last Colorado Red was 42971.
All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG.
The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were
actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68.
This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a
milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the
total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray!
We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the
registry.

The notes that I have, source unknown, indicate that the last Healey was
39418. I see that 43025 is right hand drive. Is it possible that 39418 was
the last left hand drive Healey?
