Hi, Bruce -
The chassis number is HBJ8L/41357. I was told back in 2003 that the car was
being displayed with the claim that it was the last BJ8 imported into the
States, but that is not correct.
I would be interested in any history available on the car, and I need a good
photo of it if you can arrange that.
Thanks,
Steve Byers

Subject: [Healeys] Art Astor Collection, MGB Healey
Art Astor, a well-known collector here in Orange County, is selling off his
collection of some 250 cars, and, when I last saw it about a year ago, it
included a MGB 1967 BJ8. R&M is conducting the auction June 27-29. I
didn't see the BJ8 featured on R&M's website, but the entire catalogue
hasn't been released online. I do not know the history of the car, but am
planning on being at an event at Astor's on May 10, and if anyone is
interested, I can try to get the chassis number and look it over pretty
closely. As I recall, there are some details that aren't correct.
