A couple years ago, there was a BJ8 engine serial number plate being offered
on eBay, although not for outrageous amounts of money nor with scurrilous
intentions. As it happened, the BJ8 registry had a record of the car for
which the engine was original, and also the contact information for the
owner of that car. The registry notified the owner of the car, who
communicated with the seller of the item, and the seller agreed to pull the
item from eBay and just mail it to the proper owner at no charge. The
serial plate had come into possession of the seller from a previous owner of
the car several years before.
Yes, registries do have benefits for the Healey community although they are
not always obvious.
Happy Healeying!

Recently on Ebay 2 sets of ID tags were for sale starting price
1 for $1500.00 + & 1 for $2000.00 + NO BIDS received
To fix these tags to a car in Australia can land you in jail if you try to
register or sell them.
Why would you pay $1500 & $2000 if you did not have scurrilous intentions .
I have 4 sets of tags & 3 cars It is abhorrent to me to consider selling a
set that could end up on a "HOT' car .
Thanks to the keepers of the various registers
