Would any of you be willing to describe what your inspiration was for
your particular car name?
Ours should be obvious and they seem to have named themselves. I bought
a 1960 BT7 3000 about 25 years ago for $200. Broken in half at the
firewall from rust, we brought it home in bags and boxes. Anytime I
worked on it or bought something for it I kept referring to them as
Healey bits I needed or was restoring. The car just became "Healey
Bits". Enter the Bugeye that we decided to build first because it was
more of a car when we hauled it home, you guessed it, in bags and boxes.
Glutton for punishment, I took 9 years working on the little bits of the
Bugeye, so it became "Little Bits". Now completed, I turned attention
back tot he 3000, realizing I'm not getting any younger, I had the
opportunity to by a pretty decent 1967 BJ8 3000 last summer. It has been
dubbed "Not in Bits" since it is a nice driver.
