[Healeys] Start of the Japanese Auto Industry

[BJ8 Healeys]

HBJ8L/41737 was owned in Japan prior to 22 January 1969 by someone who was a
civilian employee of the U.S. Army, and HBJ8/42183 was dispatched from the
factory to Japan on 17 August 1967, so there were at least two BJ8s in Japan
prior to the introduction of the Fairlady (240Z) in 1969.

There is a story, possibly apocryphal, that there were three Austin Healeys
in
Japan prior to the introduction of the Datsun 240Z. All were owned by
Datsun... You can snopes it and maybe disprove it, but I still like it.
