I believe this thread began with a question about the original price of a
Healey Hundred, but since it has expanded to BJ8s, here is some info from
the BJ8 registry that might be of interest.  I have similar information for
39 cars in the registry.  The sample below the BJ8 production span.  If
anyone would like to see the complete list, I can send it to you off list.
