I would really recommend anyone seriously interested in buying a Healey =
at these auctions pay attention to little things like the VIN, body, and =
engine serial numbers.  I see a LOT of BJ8s in these auctions that look =
beautiful but that have replacement VIN plates and body plates from =
other cars, etc.   One of them I learned about later turned out to have =
a replacement VIN plate with an apparently-authentic number that was =
actually completely bogus, another car's body plate, and a number on the =
shock tower that belonged to a third car.  Some restorers are getting =
very careless (or worse) about such things.

It's not a question of every original number being intact, but of the =
integrity of the car itself.  If it isn't important to you that a car =
has a different VIN number than when it left the factory, and maybe the =
body plate from another car entirely, then go ahead and buy it.  But =
don't be surprised if when the time comes to sell it you have some =
potential buyers who are turned off when they find out the numbers and =
features of the car don't add up.  Was it stolen at some point?  Why did =
someone replace the plates?  Is your car really a "Longbridge", or did =
someone replace the plates before you bought it and got the certificate =
for the current number that says it was?  Yours may be legitimate, but I =
can tell you that a lot of BJ8 owners have been unpleasantly =
disappointed.

=20

For me personally, as the keeper of the BJ8 Registry and someone who is =
trying to determine the fate (existing or not) of all of the cars built, =
it's important to be able to identify each one unambiguously.   My BJ8 =
has an alternator, non-original leather interior, dual fuel pumps, a =
modern radio, 3-point seatbelts, a Corvette Yellow over Black paint job, =
modern re-cored radiator, Mallory Dual-Point distributor, coolant =
overflow system, Lempert differential, etc., etc. so it isn't strictly =
as it left the factory.  But it is a reliable long-distance driver that =
has carried me for 117K miles so far, including two round trips across =
the country, and it does have the same identity that it left the factory =
with (as well as all of the original serialized components).   That's =
important to me, and a lot of other people who are trying to get their =
numbers corrected after they found out the car they thought they had is =
something else.  Better to know up front what you're getting than to be =
disappointed later.

I wonder why anyone would want a Healey with every original number =
intact except a collector who probably doesn=E2=80=99t intend to drive =
the car.

I have a BN-4 Longbridge with concours interior, a BJ-8 modified engine =
a Lempert rear end, blisten shooks, electronic ignition etc etc which =
makes for a great driver. Anyone want the original shocks with the =
proper number for the original?

My BN4 is really a BT7. I have the BMHT certificate for the engine #. 1960
BT7. It has been registered as a BN4 for the 42 years I have owned it. I
have tried to correct the registration at my local Oregon DMV, but I will
have to wait until I retire to have the time to sort out the issue. Went I
brought the BMHT certificate in with my name on it to show it was my car
the guy behind the counter said he needed proof the car arrived in
America.... The certificate showed the date it left England, but no proof
as to when it arrived.....I told him the car was here ans that is why I
wanted to correct the registration. He said it could come anytime and I
needed proof from California that it arrive in 1960. As I said, after I
retire
