[Healeys] BJ8 on eBay

[Bob Spidell]

Guess I was too subtle. 

I think the mileage is misrepresented, which is unethical if not illegal. I would have no problem with "odometer indicates 56,092--actual mileage unknown," but this doesn't appear to be a 56K original miles car. I'd pay for a VIN search before I bought this car--if it was registered at some time in the past with more than 56K miles you'd have to assume it has at least 156K miles (if the odometer is working). 

Someone on this list indicated they were bidding on this car--I felt obliged to sound off.

This is funny to me. Here's a car that is no longer made and is pretty darn 
desirable to many folks and here we are just nit picking the cotton picking 
thing to death. 
It's a pretty good project car or even a nice driver to a few. 
I'm confused.
