Happy Birthday in advance to 41574, Warren!
This is the 40th anniversary of the end of Big Healey (and BJ8, of course)
production. I have written an article for publication in a forthcoming
issue of Healey Marque about BJ8s that are still with their original owners.
There are 78 of them on the list as of now, from info currently in the BJ8
registry. If there are any original owners of BJ8s on the Healeys e-mail
list and want to make sure your car gets included, please let me know. I
would also like to know the date and where you bought the car (name of
dealer and city location). I'll update the article with any new information
before publication.
Thanks,
Steve Byers

Don,
Happy Birthday to your Healey! Here's wishing you both health, longevity,
and a continued blissfull relationship.
I understand your emotion! Went through the same back in May when my Healey
turned 40.
What makes this special is my Healey came through exactly like yours; same
color,options. Purchased October 1967, Boffo Motors, New Brighton, Pa.
Different numbers.
Enjoy
