There are two points that come to mind way down here in Australia;
1. Registries are operated by volunteers and we should be gratefull for
their work. I imagine the more people who contribute the more enthusied the
maintainer remains and we should be supportive.
2. Why do owners who have a genuine interest in the world of Healeys limit
their membership to one club/magazine? It has taken me many years and
subscriptions to learn as much as I have. Privileged to own two ex-works
Healeys ( I started when I was 17 with no money but a BN.4 and a lot of
enthusiam) I started when there was almost nothing documented about
lightweight 3000 circuit racers and even less about streamlined Sprites. It
was a constant scanning of different club magazines that slowly filled in
the gaps as each membership had its own 'specialist' that had collected a
few gems of information.
The internet has been an absolute boost in the sharing of Healey informatio=
n
and history
Well done Steve who is always quick to provide information to clarify issue=
s
based on his records at the same time protecting the privacy of owners.

Steve,
Most if not all of these registries are listed in the Austin-Healey Club US=
A
Resource Book as well.
Some of the ones listed in Healey Marque are listed as AHCA registries and
not everyone belong or want to belong to the AHCA and therein lies one
problem in my opinion. All of these registries should be totally independen=
t
of any Clubs much like the Worldwide 100M Registry. I agree that they shoul=
d
be supported by all Austin-Healey Clubs worldwide but independent of any of
them.=20
I have a 100-6 BN6 and it has been registered with the 100-6 Registry for
years but I never hear anything about that Registry.
The only one I ever hear anything about is the BJ8 one, the one you run, th=
e
Worldwide 100M and I used to hear about the 100 Registry when it was run
jointly by Rich Chrysler and John ??? from the UK but had not heard about i=
t
until Randy posted a message a couple days ago.

All of the registries and contact information for the registrars are listed
in Healey Marque. Of course, not everyone is a member of AHCA and receives
the magazine. As for the BJ8 Registry, I try as much as possible to
publicize the registry in as many ways as possible, including participating
on this list and on the British Car Forum, having links to the BJ8 Registry
hosted on several Healey-related websites, etc. I think a lot of owners
have little idea what a registry is and does -- or they think they do and
they are wrong; and even if they are aware of them they don't make the
effort to contact the registrar to find out what the registry can do for
them.
I gave a presentation about the BJ8 Registry at Enclave last summer, but
that was sort of preaching to the choir. It was the people who didn't
attend that needed to hear the message.
