I bought my BJ7 in May of 1984. Since then I have rebuilt almost all of it
myself. I had the body work done by Malcolm Jennings in the early 1990's. I
totally love the beast. The car is not a concours original but is a real nice
driver. It has been quite reliable (hard to believe for a British car). I
have beaten the heat with an oversized radiator. Other then that the only
real problem is that the overdrive doesn't shift in and out very well. Not
much of a problem as long as I shift it with the clutch disengaged on
downshift or back off the gas on up shift. My first sports car was a 1977
Fiat 124 Sport Spyder. Great car except for the fact that everything rusted
away. I got over 90k miles on it and it was still running beautifully. I was
just worried the wheels were going to fall off because of the rust. Nothing
beats the Healey. Not even my C6 Corvette.
