[Healeys] BJ8 engine back to life

[pennell at cox.net]

Listers,

John Vrugtman is an occasional contrubutor on this list.  Hi John!  He has been working on the resto of a BJ8 Phase 1 for some time now.  It will be an excellent car when finished with several extra tweeks.

The car is one which he bought new circa 1963 in France while in the Army.  He brought it back to the states for a couple years and it has since changed several hands.  Several years ago he was told of a BJ8 for sale locally.  He was unaware at first sight, but realized when iinspecting it that it was his original France car!!!

I hope I have my facts right.

Well the engine is now in it and you can hear it along with John for the first time since 1967.  Go to uTube
