I believe this thread began with a question about the original price of a
Healey Hundred, but since it has expanded to BJ8s, here is some info from
the BJ8 registry that might be of interest. I have similar information for
39 cars in the registry. The sample below the BJ8 production span. If
anyone would like to see the complete list, I can send it to you off list.
