No experience with them either. I only recall one story on this board on Be=
verly Hills Car Club. The Healey that was stolen many many years ago. Appar=
ently someone drove it for years, and sold it to them. The previous owner s=
aw it and somehow it was returned to him, perhaps after some struggle. Not =
much harm in that, except a loss for BHCC. If you scan for Healeys to buy r=
estore I believe BHCC is the largest seller in the world.
If you are selling your car, what harm is there to ask someone what they wi=
ll pay. I don=92t check the buyer when I sell a used car, if I like him or =
not. I try to sell fast and get the most money.

I wouldn't deal with Beverly Hills Car Club. Too many problems reported on =
the Healey chat forum although I have had no personal experience with them.

A second option,  bring a trailer, I think the prices there sometimes are a=

Selling privately means being patient and willing to answer questions to al=

price etc. It can be quite a lot of work. I have seen cars for sale for mor=

My neighbor and fellow Healey owner has passed, so I am trying to help his =
wife with the sale of Jack=92s BJ8.  It is in perfect condition as he only =
drove it to shows where he usually took an award.  Two months ago before hi=
s passing,  It was hard for him to get it started in the garage as it was n=
ot driven. I was able to get it started and running, so he took it to the l=
ocal garage to have the filters replaced and the carbs cleaned.  The older =
mechanic owner who used to do a lot of work on British Cars back in the day=
, suggested replacing the gas tank.  Oh, it has brand new 9 year old =91Mic=
helin tires with round the block miles.



Would you guys have any idea what it is worth in todays market?



The owner=92s wife will be letting the British Car Clubs of Tampa and Ft. M=
yers know it is available.  Meanwhile, you guys have first knowledge of thi=
s car.  She will look through their records and tell me who and when the re=
storation was made, somewhere up north.



By the way, the older 911 Porsche last of the air cooled is for sale, also.
