Ed,
For some reason the original post didn't appear on the list, despite it
being addressed to the list?.
Anyway - here it is:
On the original purchase invoice for my BJ8, the dealer (John Sprinzel
Racing, of Lancaster Mews, London) actually differentiated between the
'manufacturer' fitted accessories and the 'dealer' fitted accessories.
A picture of the original invoice for my BJ8, purchased from John Sprinzel,
is here: http://www.myaustinhealey.com/john-sprinzel-healey.html
You can see that the manufacturer fitted accessories shown on the original
invoice are the same as on the car's 'Body Production Windscreen card'
http://www.myaustinhealey.com/histintro.html (which is basically the
detailed version of what the heritage certificate tells you).
Why the underseal you may ask? At the time of purchase, the plan was to
spend 3 months driving the BJ8 from London to Sydney
http://www.myaustinhealey.com/london-to-sydney-healey.html - and the
underseal was to keep underside body damage to a minimum. When you see some
of the photos - the underseal (and sump guard fitted later) certainly did
their job on Richard's overland trip from England!
The prices on the original John Sprinzel invoice (for car price & factory
accessories) are exactly the same as the March 1964 'Prices for Austin Cars'
1168/AW pricelist - to the penny!!
