Hi
The "BMC" sign is there because of a law requirement in California. I suppose
it was exported there at the time. Built in October -66 makes it a
-67,provided it was sold before august -67.

What does the plastic sign next to the voltage regulator mean?
Like on my car,

It says BMC-67, but the car is from October 1966 according to the BMIHT,
HBJ8L38231.

Emne: Re: [Healeys] what year
Jim, Healeys were not built by "model year", which (I believe) is a concept
used primarily by U.S. automakers. The separate turn signal/parking
indicators for BJ8s was a change based on body number (not "model year") and
occurred at body 76138. BMIHT records that body number as being assigned
both to HBJ8/31336 (built March 1965) and HBJ8L/31259 (built 1 - 2 April
1965). Either way, it was possible that a car bought new in June '65 had
the separate indicators.
