Check them out online and if you can, make the appointment to take the guided tour, again, it's free. Also there is the Mullin Museum out in Oxnard. http://mullinautomotivemuseum.com/ It is totally French cars and there is an admission price, not sure what it is and there is also the Murphy Museum almost right next door. http://www.murphyautomuseum.org/ And then you can contact the Southern California Austin Healey club and see if there's anything going on there. http://www.austin-healey.org/ Good luck and have fun!

But, there are things you can do to a Healey engine to (marginally) improve performance and reliability without changing the essence of the car. Here's some of the things I did for a recent rebuild: * Denis Welch DWR1 cam. This cam is 'slightly better' than a stock BJ8 cam, and is gun-drilled to provide extra oil to the lobes and lifters * 84.5mm Omega forged pistons. Way overkill for a street engine, but I couldn't find 'out-of-the-box' pistons that were of sufficient quality with 'modern' features like the 'latest ring design'--the top ring is about 1/16" thick!--from any of the usual suspects. My builder was impressed with both the cam and the pistons; the pistons were not much more than half the weight of the older, more-or-less stock pistons, and the cam was of extraordinary quality * DWR high capacity oil pump with upgraded shaft (DWR sells this shaft and thrust washer for about half of the 'usual suspects,' esp. with the favorable exchange rate) * adjustable vernier timing set. My builder said it took almost 4deg to dial in the cam perfectly. Timing set is of excellent quality. * fully engineered PCV 'system.' Still just sucks gasses from the crankcase, but my builder designed piping to equalize flow to both carbs, and I can run K&N filters without modification * instead of cork and fiber ('cigarette') gaskets, my builder used a modern sealant ('Right Stuff') to seal the rear main, engine plate and pan. Several hours on the test stand and 'hasn't leaked a drop' * Jet-Hot coated exhaust manifold. I believe ethanol-blend fuel was causing some stumbling on hot starts and I'm hoping this solves the problem I have some video of the engine running on the test stand (LARGE files), and my builder wrote a detailed list of all the work he did to make a strong and reliable street engine. If anybody's interested I'll scan the list and post URLs to the video, but I can't do it until I get home Saturday.

When completed, my engine will have the Denis Welch DWR1 cam, bucket tappets, hollow push rods, DW 85mm pistons, DW lightened flywheel and a diaphragm style 9.5? Jaguar clutch, along with the DW high capacity oil pump I already had installed. The floor of the water jacket has also been epoxied to seal any possible leaks from the oil gallery. My exhaust manifolds were previously Jet-Hot coated, but Jet-Hot has since been through bankruptcy and is not owned by another company, though still operating under that brand. With this rebuild, I am using a company called IA Coatings in Houston for ceramic coating of the exhaust and intake manifolds. The transmission has been rebuilt with DW 1st, reverse and cluster gears, synchros, with a new hardened DW gear lever. I also use modern K&N oil and air filters.

But, there are things you can do to a Healey engine to (marginally) improve performance and reliability without changing the essence of the car. Here's some of the things I did for a recent rebuild: > > > > * Denis Welch DWR1 cam. This cam is 'slightly better' than a stock BJ8 cam, and is gun-drilled to provide extra oil to the lobes and lifters > * 84.5mm Omega forged pistons. Way overkill for a street engine, but I couldn't find 'out-of-the-box' pistons that were of sufficient quality with 'modern' features like the 'latest ring design'--the top ring is about 1/16" thick!--from any of the usual suspects. My builder was impressed with both the cam and the pistons; the pistons were not much more than half the weight of the older, more-or-less stock pistons, and the cam was of extraordinary quality > * DWR high capacity oil pump with upgraded shaft (DWR sells this shaft and thrust washer for about half of the 'usual suspects,' esp. with the favorable exchange rate) > * adjustable vernier timing set. My builder said it took almost 4deg to dial in the cam perfectly. Timing set is of excellent quality. > * fully engineered PCV 'system.' Still just sucks gasses from the crankcase, but my builder designed piping to equalize flow to both carbs, and I can run K&N filters without modification > * instead of cork and fiber ('cigarette') gaskets, my builder used a modern sealant ('Right Stuff') to seal the rear main, engine plate and pan. Several hours on the test stand and 'hasn't leaked a drop' > * Jet-Hot coated exhaust manifold. I believe ethanol-blend fuel was causing some stumbling on hot starts and I'm hoping this solves the problem > > I have some video of the engine running on the test stand (LARGE files), and my builder wrote a detailed list of all the work he did to make a strong and reliable street engine. If anybody's interested I'll scan the list and post URLs to the video, but I can't do it until I get home Saturday. > > > > Bob > > -------------------------------- > Bob Spidell - San Jose, CA > > > > > > On March 2, 2017 at 6:07 AM 1 2 wrote: > > > > Hi All, > > > > Is there a list of commonly done rebuild mods for the 3000 engine/transmission to modernize it? > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html > > Suggested annual donation $12.75 > > Archive: http://www.team.net/archive > > Forums: http://www.team.net/forums > > > > Healeys at autox.team.net mailto:Healeys at autox.team.net > > http://autox.teamnet/mailman/listinfo/healeys http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys > > > > Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/bspidell at comcast.net > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------- > _______________________________________________ > Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html > Suggested annual donation $12.75 > Archive: http://www.team.net/archive > Forums: http://www.team.net/forums > > Healeys at autox.team.net > http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys > > Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/healeydoc at sbcglobal.net > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Moss kit comes with the parts pre cut so that they will fit against each other as they should. They specially made thick washers would take effort to dublicate. If you are going to make your own parts it will take time and probably a few re-makes. Roger Moment's instructions come with it and are very detailed (and of course based on a lot of experience). If you are going to try to cut Hardi panels of any sort you will create a lot of cement dust and dull blades, and possibly a saw motor worn out by the abrasive dust. Getting inside corners and rectangular slots just right can be challenging, too. Having cut a couple of hundred feet of Hardi siding I speak from experience. Just saying. -Roland BN1 #724 On Sun, 5 Mar 2017 07:32:50 -0800, Bruce wrote: >Oh, and I would add that IMHO it is MUCH easier to buy the kit than try to >cut the cement board oneself.

The electrical issues have now been solved and the electrics are working correctly. The remaining issue is still the release of the overdrive. The operating lever is properly adjusted now with the hole in the lever lining up with the hole in the case. The operating solenoid/lever engages strongly every time and the two holes on the right side always line up. However, when the switch is turned off, the gear selector moved to neutral and the gas pedal pressed, the solenoid is deactivated (as indicated by a volt meter) but the lever does not release. I have removed and cleaned the operating valve pushrod and reinstalled it. With the plug removed I can see the spring jump when the overdrive is switched on. At first I thought that the solenoid lever was rubbing against the trans case and not allowing the solenoid lever to release. But that is not what is happening (I checked both sides of the trans). When I apply the slightest pressure to the solenoid lever (at the solenoid), the lever drops down into the off position. Time after time this is happens. The valve operating shaft gives a very slight resistance to moving initially and does not want to release by it's self. After the very slightest pressure on the lever, the lever moves easily and drops to the released position. No matter what I do I cannot get the solenoid lever to drop down on it's own. With just the slightest touch it does drop down. I loosened the solenoid unit so that it was sort of free floating but no change at all no matter what I did or how I moved it. I removed and cleaned the solenoid and plunger. Is it possible that something inside the trans is binding the actuating shaft/lever?

My experience with OD?s is that the lever could be misadjusted if it lines up with the hole. Counter intuitive I know, but parts wear. That said, when driving, to disengage the OD once the switch has been turned off one needs to quickly punch the gas pedal. That causes it to disengage.

As with any old car check for rust or bad rust repairs, rocker panels, floors, bottom of the little area between the front fender and the door. Most parts are cheap and readily available new and used. Check that the front suspension is tight, it can be relatively expensive to fix. Tranny, same thing, non synchro first often gets banged up and chipped, it should whine a little, not a lot. The asking price used to be all the money in the world for a Midget, but they have gone up like everything else. They are a hoot to drive, like a little go kart. I don't know the situation, I don't know if I would want one for my young kids first and only car (let them learn their lessons in a Carolla or something) but as a weekend or fun car they are great.

Without seeing the solenoid/lever connection, I would suggest that the lever may be too tight to the solenoid core and the lever then jams and cannot return due to the interference. The core has to move freely on the lever as it moves up and down. Unfortunately, the lever attachment point will not remain flat as it pivots at the OD. With the upper and lower ?washer? type widening this area can interfere with the lever if connected too tightly and thus jam ever so slightly. Otherwise, there is something that is causing the solenoid core from dropping. Is the core bent or otherwise interfering with the internal solenoid body? Is your rubber boot adding additional pressure and holding the core in the body? When you loosen the solenoid body, does this ?realignment? allow the core to drop? Is the core straight?

The electrical issues have now been solved and the electrics are working correctly. The remaining issue is still the release of the overdrive. The operating lever is properly adjusted now with the hole in the lever lining up with the hole in the case. The operating solenoid/lever engages strongly every time and the two holes on the right side always line up. However, when the switch is turned off, the gear selector moved to neutral and the gas pedal pressed, the solenoid is deactivated (as indicated by a volt meter) but the lever does not release. I have removed and cleaned the operating valve pushrod and reinstalled it. With the plug removed I can see the spring jump when the overdrive is switched on. At first I thought that the solenoid lever was rubbing against the trans case and not allowing the solenoid lever to release. But that is not what is happening (I checked both sides of the trans). When I apply the slightest pressure to the solenoid lever (at the solenoid), the lever drops down into the off position. Time after time this is happens. The valve operating shaft gives a very slight resistance to moving initially and does not want to release by it's self. After the very slightest pressure on the lever, the lever moves easily and drops to the released position. No matter what I do I cannot get the solenoid lever to drop down on it's own. With just the slightest touch it does drop down. I loosened the solenoid unit so that it was sort of free floating but no change at all no matter what I did or how I moved it. I removed and cleaned the solenoid and plunger. Is it possible that something inside the trans is binding the actuating shaft/lever? I am really frustrated with getting the overdrive to work properly. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Their response is that they do not recommend the use of their non-detergent 30 oil in manual transmissions. Castrol does not recommend our Non-Detergent 30 oil for manual transmission applications, and we believe the foaming was likely caused by some type of contamination, perhaps water in the transmission. Unfortunately Castrol does not offer a manual transmission fluid product in Canada or the US. This phenomenon is still a mystery to me as there certainly was no water in the transmission as had drained it 2x before noticing the foaming. rg From: Olin Brimberry Sent: Friday, February 24, 2017 12:13 PM To: Roger Grace Cc: Healey List Subject: Re: [Healeys] Trans oil foaming Roger, Your post is good timing for me. I just recently replaced my gearbox and installed Shell ND 30wt. After having a reoccurring drip, I thought it would be wise to check the oil this past weekend. I forgot to check the level before I cranked the engine, so I shut it down after it had run for about a minute. Much to my surprise, I noticed a lot of oil foaming on the dipstick. The oil level was just fine, midway between high and low. Always heard oil foaming was a problem to maintaining proper lubrication of the parts. In engines, I understand that foaming can be caused by over filling the crankcase. Hopefully, the level is high enough that the foam is above the rotating gears and bearings. So, I too would be curious what the experts say. I too have the MT90 at hand, but was concerned that the drip would possibly be worse if I switched. Olin K. Brimberry, PE HunterBane Engineering, PLLC 919-803-4274 (office) 919-522-1608 (mobile) On Feb 24, 2017, at 11:18 AM, Roger Grace wrote: I recently had the OD on my BJ8 apart to replace some parts ? bearing/accumulator/gaskets/O rings etc. For a first sort of sacrificial oil fill I decided to use a non detergent Castrol 30 wt oil. Date codes less than 18 months old. Plan was to switch to the expensive Redline MT90 after testing and after a few hundred miles. This 30 WT oil is often recommended by OD experts. I have built an electric variable speed rest rid to be able to test the transmission outside the car. Overdrive worked fine and transmission sounded OK and ran it for about 2 hours to get the temp up (52C on OD case) and hunt for leaks. So far so good. Then after a few days of standing, and 2 minutes of running, I drained the oil (to fix a leak) and was amazed to see that the oil had foamed badly and there were big classic fish eye bubbles on the surface of the oil. Ambient was about 14C. I did note that the oil coming out of the transmission was somewhat foamier than that from the overdrive drain plug. See enclosed pix. After standing overnight the oil looked normal again. What disturbs me is that unless I had drained the oil I would not have been aware of the foaming and put it into service .... Have now replaced with the MT90 that shows no sign of foaming on the dip stick. Wonder if others have any ideas about this weird phenomenon and is it a concern ? rg <20170128_122945.jpg> <20170127_210053.jpg> <20170127_210045.jpg> No virus found in this message.

'Crap,' I thought, 'one more job to do before I can get the engine in.' It turns out this was serendipitous--first time this word's been used on the List?--because as I inspected the shaft, I noticed that one of the two brackets was also bent, and further inspection revealed that the bush on the driver's side was way sloppy (actually, pretty much gone). A quick check of the Moss catalog showed 'N/A' for all the parts--I'm screwed, I thought. Then, I remembered I'd bought a replacement set--supposedly made of teflon, but they say 'nylon' on the bag--but had given up on installing them because the instructions showed 'through BN7 and BT7' (BJ7/8s need not apply). I called BCS to see what they had, and John, their parts guy said they'd work on BJ8s. So, I did some digging and, although the photo of the instructions and applications on Moss' web page showed 'though BN7 and BT7,' if you download the instructions--5 pages!--they've been revised to show they work on the 'J' cars. Anyway, if anyone has the engine out of one of the later 6-cyl cars I recommend you check these brackets and bushings. They are bronze bonded to rubber and, although my car has nearly 200K miles, I suspect the life of these is determined as much/more in years as in miles, as the rubber gets baked by engine heat. The rubber on my driver's side bush was completely dry, caked and brittle, and could conceivably have resulted in a stuck throttle. The instructions are intimidating--5 pages!--but, except for having to work under the dash, which I hate, the job was pretty straightforward. I managed to get the shaft reasonably straight, and the used bracket I got from BCS was in good shape (though, in hindsight, I probably could have straightened my bent one), so now my Rube Goldberg-designed throttle works smooth and with no slop. Thought I'd pass this along since I hadn't seen this issue discussed before. I'd long since replaced the rubber/bronze bush on the shaft on the engine, and should never have to worry about these again. Credit to to Eric Gruden who designed these bushes, and to Moss for going the extra mile to provide these, for a reasonable cost (about $13).

Mario Andretti Please excuse random auto corrects and misspelled words Cross-posting from BCF: While getting ready to drop the rebuilt engine into my BJ8, I noticed the 'throttle relay shaft'--yeah, the one under the scuttle, all but impossible to get to with the engine installed--was bent. 'Crap,' I thought, 'one more job to do before I can get the engine in.' It turns out this was serendipitous--first time this word's been used on the List?--because as I inspected the shaft, I noticed that one of the two brackets was also bent, and further inspection revealed that the bush on the driver's side was way sloppy (actually, pretty much gone). A quick check of the Moss catalog showed 'N/A' for all the parts--I'm screwed, I thought. Then, I remembered I'd bought a replacement set--supposedly made of teflon, but they say 'nylon' on the bag--but had given up on installing them because the instructions showed 'through BN7 and BT7' (BJ7/8s need not apply). I called BCS to see what they had, and John, their parts guy said they'd work on BJ8s. So, I did some digging and, although the photo of the instructions and applications on Moss' web page showed 'though BN7 and BT7,' if you download the instructions--5 pages!--they've been revised to show they work on the 'J' cars. Anyway, if anyone has the engine out of one of the later 6-cyl cars I recommend you check these brackets and bushings. They are bronze bonded to rubber and, although my car has nearly 200K miles, I suspect the life of these is determined as much/more in years as in miles, as the rubber gets baked by engine heat. The rubber on my driver's side bush was completely dry, caked and brittle, and could conceivably have resulted in a stuck throttle. The instructions are intimidating--5 pages!--but, except for having to work under the dash, which I hate, the job was pretty straightforward. I managed to get the shaft reasonably straight, and the used bracket I got from BCS was in good shape (though, in hindsight, I probably could have straightened my bent one), so now my Rube Goldberg-designed throttle works smooth and with no slop. Thought I'd pass this along since I hadn't seen this issue discussed before. I'd long since replaced the rubber/bronze bush on the shaft on the engine, and should never have to worry about these again.

A for the small engine in Sprites (less than 2000cc) and B for the engine in Healeys up to 3000 cc?s or so. Thus the AN, etc. for Sprites since they had a 900 or so cc engine. N stands for two seater although it appeared on the BN4 which was a ?occasional? four seater (if you had stubby legs you could fit) T for four seater J for true convertible with the top permanently fastened L is for left hand drive If there is an ?O? it stands for equipped with overdrive but this was omitted on most cars as most had standard OD. So, BN6 was a large engine two seater and the 6th model in the series. BJ8 was a large engine car with a permanent folding top and the 8th model in the series. BJ9 is my Kia Sedona.

They are 84.5mm (3.327 Inches), the maximum allowable to remain under 3 liters. Paid to have them custom made, with new pins (with spiro locks), thin rings, tuff coat on skirt and thermal barrier coating on the crown. Also had the crown undercut. Paid almost $1200 delivered. Will sell at discount and take small loss. Have pictures and invoice for serious inquiry. Also, have a Liege cam with bucket followers that is extra to my use (bucket followers require longer push rods). Will sell for fair offer. Best cam factory ever developed. Grind was used in Liege-Rome-Liege rally 1963, then, so good, used at Sebring 1965. Going to eBay next week - list first choice. Contact off list please.

I inserted the bronze bushings into the cups, filled the cups with the silicone, then inserted the rod to ensure that the bushings would be in alignment when the silicone cured. I have had no reason to remove the repaired assembly since then but the silicone seems to be doing fine so far.

Lay a cloth or suitable non-scratch material over the cowl in front of the windshield, tape done (or otherwise hold from sliding) and tape the gauges down onto it. Connect the gauges into the engine and radiator. Support the hood on a block of rubber or wood to allow the piping to exit the engine bay and you should be good to go.

The BMIHT certificates sometimes give the rear axle number, but there are apparently long strings of cars in their records for which no rear axle number was recorded and are therefore not on the certificate. And you are correct that some axle housings apparently have no serial number (mine doesn't). The BJ8 Registry now has data, records, and ownership history for almost exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,853 of 17,712), including copies of certificates for 935 chassis numbers (plus BMIHT data for several thousand more for which no certificate is available). There are 1,247 rear axle numbers identified to the chassis number currently in the registry. Rear axle numbers for very early BJ8s were generally much higher than later ones and could vary widely in sequence with the chassis number (e.g., chassis 25317 had rear axle 23564, chassis 25507 had rear axle 28736; but chassis 26898 had rear axle 505). Later cars seem to have a more reliable pattern to the numbers. What are the serial numbers you are interested in?

So I bought new ones, installed them, and the resistance in the gas pedal is so light I'm not sure the car (BJ8) will be as driveable; i.e. the pedal 'touch' may be too sensitive. Since I replaced seriously worn throttle shaft bushes with teflon/nylon, the change may be due to that--I'm just used to pushing harder on a worn out mechanism--or, possibly, the repo springs are weaker (they DO look a little wimpier). I haven't driven the car yet--maybe I'll prefer a lighter pedal--but has anyone else bought new springs and thought they weren't as, er, springy as the originals?

The Lucas instructions forbid it big letters but hey, like those brake caliper bolts which we must never undo, there is no good reason not to and there are significant benefits to doing so. Apparently the insulation between the segments is supposed to wear down faster than the copper but in reality it doesn't and creates a high resistance which equals slow or no cranking when hot.

Can these be safely--and 'cleanly'--cut or otherwise shortened without damaging them? I'm thinking: a) measure twice, b) wrap the point of the cut with masking tape, c) cut (once) with air cutoff tool or ?. Anyone done this? The old line, also Petroflex, while a bit less flexible than the new one, was in good enough shape to keep using, but I figured overhaul time was a good time to replace all rubber components. Also, the jet diaphragms in my HD8s were likewise stiffer than new ones, and showed some minute cracks, but were otherwise serviceable. Both components have at least 20 years and 70-80K miles of service, on mostly California--i.e. ethanol spiked--gas. The radiator hoses were like new and could have been reused as well.

So, the consensus would be that the holes were for a previously mounted luggage rack. Which makes sense, because the car also has nuts & bolts going through the trunk hinges where the pins would normally be. Which would lead to a follow up question - does anyone know where I could get just the hinge pins (or something equivalent) instead of paying Moss $60 per for each hinge? Does anyone have a couple lying around? :-) @Simon - here is the boot lid patch panel: http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=28951#76 It's only a few inches wide, and is really just for repairing the rusty bottom lip.

MkIII References: Phase 1 BJ8s had single lights under the headlamps with small clear glass lenses like BJ7s. The early Phase 2 cars had single lights under the headlamps with larger clear plastic lenses. This was true up to body number 76137. From body 76138 and up, they had dual lights under the headlamps with amber turn signals and clear parking lights. That is according to the BMC parts manual for BJ7/BJ8, but quite a few cars have been found with pre-body number 76138 dual lights and post-body number 76138 with single light configurations. Shrouds may have been changed from original, or maybe not; but it's hard to verify any BMC change that sticks hard and fast to the parts manual.

You cannot go by the chassis number around the change to another variant of the model. It is the same in Jensens. It is not uncommon in other makes either.

Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw power go up from 136 to 150 bhp.

From Graham Robson's "The Big Healeys", 43025 was the last production car coming off the production line on 12/21/67. Two more cars, 43000 and 43007 were finished in January 1968. The last car, 43026 was built from scratch and finished March 14, 1968. 43026 is detailed here and is white: http://www.ahexp.com/registry/HBJ843026 Robson's book also contains a picture of a BJ8 going down the line with a sign saying "The End" on it, which I'm guessing is 43025.

References: HBJ8/43025 was NOT the last one ever made. That hono(u)r goes to HBJ8/43026, which was not assembled on the regular production line but in the "Show Shop" three months after regular production ended (it was, and is, Ivory White). 43025 was not even the last car built on the production line (which was 43000, built 23 Nov 67 - 11 Jan 68). 43025 was the last car painted Metallic Golden Beige. Whoever wrote the description below also got the build date for 43025 wrong. It was built (per the BMIHT certificate) 1 - 16 November 1967 and dispatched on 22 November to the Donald Healey Motor Co. Funny that they would get the build date wrong, since they say the certificate is available. 43025 did not leave the factory with HS6 carbs.

When talking British classics, it?s impossible to ignore the likes of the Jaguar E-Type and Aston Martin DB5. But while those are pop icons in their own right, the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III is a bit of a specialty. As compared to Jaguar and Aston Martin, which are still with us, the venture created by Austin and Donald Healey Motor in 1952 came to a conclusion in 1972. The cutesy Sprite is a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit the 3000 Mk III is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts consider to be the British outfit?s crowning achievement. 17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ?64 to ?67, and this here is the last one ever made. Chassis HBJ843025 was manufactured on the 21st of December, 1967, and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup, this is one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a back-to-basics sports car to die for. Better still, it has covered only 57,389 miles (92,358 kilometers) over the course of half a century. ?This is the first time the car has been offered for sale in over 40 years and as such an important and iconic British sports car we expect a significant amount of interest,? said Richard Greenhalgh, specialist at Classic Car Auctions. So what?s the estimate on this example of the Big Healey? ?75,000 and ?90,000 is CCA?s pre-auction estimate, but only time will tell if bidding will get rowdy. Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago, Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration, the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard. Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no garage queen. And even restored, the final Big Healey doesn?t fail to show its patina. Source: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/t...on-116318.html Image removed by sender.

References: <8EF69C1C-50C7-4D66-93F6-4EA1F2287327@schoerner.se> Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020, recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for research. The last by chassis number was 43026. The last on the production line was 43000. The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025. The last BRG was 43020. The last Healey Blue was 43021. The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023. The last Ivory White was 43026. The last Colorado Red was 42971. All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG. The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68. This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray! We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the registry.

References: "Fresh from a restoration done a year ago". I guess that the term " restoration" is used pretty loosely here. Perhaps saying that it has been resprayed would have been more accurate but it would not get bidders as enthusiastic to bring it up even to the lowest estimate. I can see keeping the original seats to show that "patina" makes sense but the very least they could have done is install the piping on the aluminum door trim, the rubber bumpers on the front shroud for the bonnet and the rubber seal for the trunk actually installed on the trunk lid. At the same time they could have secured the spare tire at its proper location with the metal bar and leather belt holding it in place. I am quite amazed that they di install the fender flash the correct way. Jean ________________________________ From: Healeys on behalf of HealeyRick Sent: March 21, 2017 2:47 PM To: healeys at autox.team.net Subject: [Healeys] Last Big Healey? When talking British classics, it?s impossible to ignore the likes of the Jaguar E-Type and Aston Martin DB5. But while those are pop icons in their own right, the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III is a bit of a specialty. As compared to Jaguar and Aston Martin, which are still with us, the venture created by Austin and Donald Healey Motor in 1952 came to a conclusion in 1972. The cutesy Sprite is a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit the 3000 Mk III is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts consider to be the British outfit?s crowning achievement. 17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ?64 to ?67, and this here is the last one ever made. Chassis HBJ843025 was manufactured on the 21st of December, 1967, and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup, this is one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a back-to-basics sports car to die for. Better still, it has covered only 57,389 miles (92,358 kilometers) over the course of half a century. ?This is the first time the car has been offered for sale in over 40 years and as such an important and iconic British sports car we expect a significant amount of interest,? said Richard Greenhalgh, specialist at Classic Car Auctions. So what?s the estimate on this example of the Big Healey? ?75,000 and ?90,000 is CCA?s pre-auction estimate, but only time will tell if bidding will get rowdy. Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago, Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration, the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard. Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no garage queen. And even restored, the final Big Healey doesn?t fail to show its patina.

This is very interesting. I've personally seen a couple of early Hundreds with what was obviously a plain (non metallic) shade of light grayish blue.? In the meantime having been personally involved in the restoration of Blair Harber's? pre-production Hundred (AHX-14) and the first production car BN1L138031, I can attest to the fact that these two cars had what was immediately recognized as metallic Healey Ice Blue.? This tells me that both the non metallic and the normally recognizable metallic versions were produced from the beginning.?? We also know that Jensens (who painted the bodies) were using at least? Dockers and I.C.I. paints early on.? This fact alone would contribute to varying shades of colour.?? As a further point to confuse, my painter has been experimenting with the Healey Blue metallic shades, and recently showed me a sample spray out card, one side sprayed with a formula we've been happily using for a while now, but just the bare paint, the other half of the sample card oversprayed with a thin coating of clear.? It was amazing how much darker the cleared sample was to the eye.?? It was actually hard to imagine it was the same colour!It is for these many varying reasons that when judging a car in Concours, we first let the owner comment on the colour applied if he/she so chooses, and then when evaluating the colour itself, work on the premise of "a reasonable attempt at accuracy" has been displayed.--Rich Chrysler - To: - Subject: Early Colors - From: "Peter Svilans" - Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 11:19:50 -0500 Looking through the color chip library at ?www.AutocolorLibrary.com ??brought up this page:http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/search/searchpic.pl?1955-ahmg-pg11.jpg? It shows THREE shades of Healey Blue in use as early as 1957.??? One shade ("H-1 Blue Iridescent") is for 1954, one ("Ice Blue Iridescent") is for later 100's to 1957 (the year of the chip card) and a solid, ie: non-metallic, shade ("Ice? Blue") for the earliest 1953-54 Healeys.? There is also Spruce Green, Carmine Red and Ivory.? I have this same R-M card, and the one shade of blue is definitely non-metallic.What is interesting is that these are not modern recreations of old historic colours, but practical chips meant to repaint cars that were then current, ordinary, on-the-road vehicles.? In other words, 'these shades had better be pretty darn close, or we pay to repaint the customer's car again'.Best regards,? --Peter?

The last Ivory White was 43026. The last Colorado Red was 42971. All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG.

References: , Kimo, While I am no Concours Judge but having built a BJ8 to Concours standards a few years ago as well as having helped a friend bring his car to similar standards, I would say that this car, according to the few photos available from the auction house, would not go beyond the pre-judging phase. There are simply too many details that have been overlooked, things missing, some installed wrong etc. Here are a few examples, the grille surround is not painted where it meets with the back piece, it's left in chrome, the valve cover tags are installed with pop rivets, the rubber bumpers that are installed on the front shroud where it meets with the hood are all missing, the rubber moulding on th front shroud by the carbs is also missing and that is just at the front.

When talking British classics, it?s impossible to ignore the likes of the Jaguar E-Type and Aston Martin DB5. But while those are pop icons in their own right, the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III is a bit of a specialty. As compared to Jaguar and Aston Martin, which are still with us, the venture created by Austin and Donald Healey Motor in 1952 came to a conclusion in 1972. The cutesy Sprite is a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit the 3000 Mk III is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts consider to be the British outfit?s crowning achievement. 17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ?64 to ?67, and this here is the last one ever made. Chassis HBJ843025 was manufactured on the 21st of December, 1967, and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup, this is one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a back-to-basics sports car to die for. Better still, it has covered only 57,389 miles (92,358 kilometers) over the course of half a century. ?This is the first time the car has been offered for sale in over 40 years and as such an important and iconic British sports car we expect a significant amount of interest,? said Richard Greenhalgh, specialist at Classic Car Auctions. So what?s the estimate on this example of the Big Healey? ?75,000 and ?90,000 is CCA?s pre-auction estimate, but only time will tell if bidding will get rowdy. Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago, Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration, the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard. Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no garage queen. And even restored, the final Big Healey doesn?t fail to show its patina.

Unfortunately they were never for sale originally in Aust and had to be a special order but there have been lots of imports since and there are a reasonable number of cars here now.

Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020, recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for research. The last by chassis number was 43026. The last on the production line was 43000. The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025. The last BRG was 43020. The last Healey Blue was 43021. The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023. The last Ivory White was 43026. The last Colorado Red was 42971. All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG. The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68. This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray! We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the registry.

However, after the statement quoted below, I received this from another source at the auction house: -------------------------- Steve , Good Afternoon. My name is ??????---------- and I do quite a lot of work for Silverstone Auctions preparing catalogue entries and helping to sort out the inevitable mistakes that occur when a dozen or so people are under pressure to close a catalogue with 200 cars. I am 67 and have owned a number of big Healeys including an early 100/4 with a competition history,(which I bought in 1966), so as a 'Marque' enthusiast, I am as keen as you to ensure that what we commit to paper is accurate. I have read ------------ response to you and it's patently completely inaccurate, however, he does not claim to know what he is talking about, and is too young to remember the ins and outs of the Donald Healey Motor Company. In fairness, having had a quick look at our vendor's 'Entry Form' there are a number of claims on there which Richard took at face value but which now may be incorrect. The CCA catalogue has now been printed so it's too late to change that, but we can change the Website and issue a 'Saleroom Notice' prior to the auction. I propose that I have a good look at the information provided to us by the vendor and form some opinions. I will share these with you and see what you think. It's patently obvious that you have considerable knowledge of the subject and, I guess, we will be guided by you, but as I said, it appears the vendor is under the impression that what he has told us is correct and the team were excited to be handling a car with such provenance. If it appears that the car, although a stunning example, is not what he claimed, then we may have to revise the 'monetary value', which may not go down too well, but, given your information, we are obliged to correct any statements we have made and we are keen to ensure a happy purchaser on the day. I will deal with this from now on and if you can give me 24 hours, I will get back to you with as much information as I can find at this end. Thank you for your interest in this matter. --------------------------------- Steve Byers HBJ8L/36666 BJ8 Registry AHCA Delegate at Large Havelock, NC From: Per Schoerner [mailto:per at schoerner.se] Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2017 8:15 AM Cc: BJ8Healeys; healeys at autox.team.net Subject: Re: [Healeys] Last Big Healey?

NB: We are aware of the three cars assembled after Chassis 43025. When the production line was stopped, a further two cars were assembled late in 1967 and another car was built from parts by apprentices in March 1968. This car (43025) was registered to the Donald Healey Motor Company and was, non-negotiably, the last Healey 3000 off the production line."

References: <20170322.195439.19719.0@webmail11.dca.untd.com> Many thanks to all of you for the kind words. Building and maintaining the registry and using it for the benefit of the Healey community in general and of BJ8 owners in particular has been fun for me, and has given me plenty to do to keep me out of trouble in retirement. I have received immense satisfaction from the positive benefits and unique service the registry has been able to provide for specific owners over the last 19 years. Although I enter the data and manage the registry, I certainly could never have been able to capture information on 50% of total production by myself. I have been very fortunate to acquire many e-mail friends around the world who believe in the goals of the registry and support it by feeding me information on BJ8s they come across and links to sales on the internet. There are far too many to mention by name, and my sincere thanks and appreciation to all of them, but some stand out and I would like to recognize them especially: - Richard Vaughan, who has spent countless days of his own time researching for me in the BMIHT archives for the last 15 years or so in order to document the original build details of thousands of BJ8s that would otherwise have been unavailable on a mass basis (and free!). - Niels Bengaard for scanning the internet daily for 7 years and sending me links, current and historical, and also for specific information about BJ8s in his part of Scandinavia. - Mell Ward, for sharing her UK 3000 registry with me (BJ8 portion, and minus personal data, of course) - Patrick Quinn for helping me to account for and keep up with all the BJ8s in Australia. - Mark Donaldson for covering the territory in New Zealand. - George and Nathan Bennett for sharing their personal historical databases and keeping me apprised of internet links. - Iain Torrance for making sure that I am aware of BJ8 sales in the UK.

I agree Doug! Steve your work is greatly appreciated and hopefully more people will share information with you and recognize the service you provide. Congrats on reaching 50%!

Cheers, Doug Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020, recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for research. The last by chassis number was 43026. The last on the production line was 43000. The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025. The last BRG was 43020. The last Healey Blue was 43021. The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023. The last Ivory White was 43026. The last Colorado Red was 42971. All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG. The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68. This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray! We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the registry.

So many of the things in the car hobby that are supposed to add value to a car don't make a lot of sense. What makes a car with "matching numbers" more valuable than one with a replaced engine built to the same specification? Cars at the beginning or end of production, why are they more valuable? Cars owned by celebrities, who cares what famous butt sat in the driver's seat? And of course, no offense, why is a factory 100M so much more valuable than one fitted with a LeMans kit (can it be the hi-comp pistons?) As Steve (and the greatest football coach of all time) say, it is what it is.

There is little doubt, getting a catalogue ready for a sale is no small task, then getting the car at the site, the paperwork afterwards etc, it all cost something but since most well know auction house get 10% from the seller and the buyer, there is a lot of money at stake for them and the few key words they can add to attract a buyer, they'll do it to create a market.

If a car belonged to, say, Steve McQueen and you have all the documentation going back to when it was sold to him then it has provenance and provably so: what you are prepared to pay for that is up to you. Previous ownership depends on your taste, after all Hitler's Mercedes found a buyer. I wouldn't want it. Consider race cars and rally Healeys which command probably the highest premiums of all. Most cars were modified or rebuilt after each event and throughout the period in which they were campaigned in line with changing technologies and in some cases rules. As a result they have very few bits that were in place when they rolled off the production line. Yes the parts were fitted by a BL engineer/technician but everyone on this list knows what that can mean! That doesn't prevent them from being "authentic". Such a car cannot be considered to be "original" in that it doesn't have the same components with which it left the factory. A very interesting case concerns the Bentley widely known as "Old Number One" in which the originality and "genuineness" of the car and its value were in dispute and which ended up in a twelve-day trial. The judgement is here: http://www.gomog.com/articles/no1judgement.html As far as I am aware it hasn't been superceded in English Law. It's probably also in several other places too. It's very interesting and well worth a read.

Two are square with scalloped sides and four holes and mount between the carbs and the intake manifold face. Two more are diamond shaped with two holes each to accept bolts to mount either air cleaners or a CAB. I assume they would provide some insulating value to minimize heat transfer from the carb body to the filter or CAB but I really cannot see that this would have any effect on the temperature of inlet air.

The last kit I got for some Zenith Stromberg 175CDs had enough "extra" parts, including diaphragms for 150CDs, to rebuild another set of carbs. Point being just because it is in the kit doesn't mean it is meant for your car. I would use the gasket to make a good seal between carb and air cleaner and not worry about the insulating block.

First, as Greg mentioned it it imperative that both the grooves in the body are scrupulously clean. Scrape around with a dental pick to ensure that any rust is removed. Now insert the piston seal fully into the lower groove being sure to press it fully home with your thumbs. Apply a little brake grease to it. Next insert the lower lip of the dust seal into the upper groove again being sure to press it fully home with your thumbs. Now lightly? press the closed end of the greased piston against the dust seal and use a small wire hook to lift the outer lip of the dust seal onto the outside of the piston. Now it will be possible to wiggle the piston? into the bore through both seals. DO NOT FORCE IT IN. LIGHT THUMB PRESSURE SHOULD BE ALL THAT IS REQUIRED. Finally use a dental pic to guide the outer lip of the dust seal into its groove in the piston. Only 3 to go... Michael S BN1 #174 With 4 wheel drum brakes. ?

Simon Sent: 27 March 2017 13:17 Subject: Re: [Healeys] Caliper Piston Dustcover Hi Mike, Installing those dust covers can be very difficult however with patience and liberal application of brake grease it can be achieved. First, as Greg mentioned it it imperative that both the grooves in the body are scrupulously clean. Scrape around with a dental pick to ensure that any rust is removed. Now insert the piston seal fully into the lower groove being sure to press it fully home with your thumbs. Apply a little brake grease to it. Next insert the lower lip of the dust seal into the upper groove again being sure to press it fully home with your thumbs. Now lightly press the closed end of the greased piston against the dust seal and use a small wire hook to lift the outer lip of the dust seal onto the outside of the piston. Now it will be possible to wiggle the piston into the bore through both seals. DO NOT FORCE IT IN. LIGHT THUMB PRESSURE SHOULD BE ALL THAT IS REQUIRED. Finally use a dental pic to guide the outer lip of the dust seal into its groove in the piston. Only 3 to go... Michael S BN1 #174 With 4 wheel drum brakes. ?

References: <7ED1E653-3560-440F-A75D-10120081563D@comcast.net> The frame and structure is a two-man lift. My step son rolled it out of my barn up to the ramp truck, we were able to roll it up the ramp with one person on each stand. We then disconnected it from the stands for transport. We got to the shop and carried it off the truck and into the shop. We then inserted the black rotating pieces back into the stands. You can have one guy in the back and one up front. Both lift to proper height, while one gets his into the stand. Then the other. Obviously easier with three people, but we did it without a hitch. It was all much more stable than even I expected. When working on the car, one person can rotate the car without fear of tipping. I would not use these stands with a bigger car, but for the Healey it was great. The two stands cost under $400, plus about another $70 in steel from McMaster-Carr. Plus I can sell one of the stands. It's for sale for say $90. Note that I modified the stands so that the rotating angle would be parallel to the ground. Drilled one additional hole to set the proper angle. It can be switched back and forth in 10 minutes. And yes I installed all brake and fuel lines, all electrics, and other small items while still on the stands. I took the car off the stands before I installed the suspension.

I did the same comparison with the bugeye's price of $1795 and in today's money it would be $15k. I don't know what car you could buy for that today and would guess a modern day bugeye would be around $23k-$25k. This just probably shows that the cost of cars as a percentage of income has increased and we pay more up front for increased safety, mileage, lower emissions and increased longevity.
