[Healeys] BJ8 Photo Album

[andy pole]

Thanks guys
I bougt my first BJ8 when I was 21 (#2250) and when my dad helped me tow it 
back to his house, I thought he was going to throw a fit! I had gone to buy 
a frogeye but ended up with  a car worse than the one I have now, regardless 
to say I sold it 6 months later and its the only car I've made a profit on. 
Always regretted it.
Anyway now I'm 37 I thought I would try again, and looked all other the uk 
for something that wasnt a silly price or boxes of bits. In the end bought 
this one from New York and shipped it to the uk. As you can see by the paint 
stripped on one wing it has no accident damage and never been repainted, 
however a previous owner did blow the engine up and it had a replacement in 
the 70's (got original bills), it was shipped to the States as a personal 
export with black leather interior.
Rich has pointed out the gear knob is not original, but a few other things 
seem to be the opposite of the concourse view (ie the steering column 
surrond cover and blanking cover on the other side were painted body colour 
not black!).
I will take more pictures of the interior (carpets had rotted away) seats, 
fold down rear etc. Hopefully it will look slightly better tomorrow as the 
body has been blasted and new panels are going back in (rear inner wings 
also need replacing).
Will keep you posted.
regards Andy
