Hi, Bruce -

The chassis number is HBJ8L/41357.  I was told back in 2003 that the car was
being displayed with the claim that it was the last BJ8 imported into the
States, but that is not correct.
I would be interested in any history available on the car, and I need a good
photo of it if you can arrange that.

Thanks,
Steve Byers

Art Astor, a well-known collector here in Orange County, is selling off his 
collection of some 250 cars, and, when I last saw it about a year ago, it 
included a MGB 1967 BJ8.  R&M is conducting the auction June 27-29.  I 
didn't see the BJ8 featured on R&M's website, but the entire catalogue 
hasn't been released online. I do not know the history of the car, but am 
planning on being at an event at Astor's on May 10, and if anyone is 
interested, I can try to get the chassis number and look it over pretty 
closely.  As I recall, there are some details that aren't correct.
