[Healeys] BJ8 Price When New

[Gary R. Brierton]

I thought you would find the white-wall tire reference an especially
important (and entertaining) factoid ;<)

G'day

Many thanks to everyone who responded.

Thanks to Gary Brierton who told me about his first AH that he bought in
1965 and to Scott Morris who sent me the Road & Track test and Canadian
prices of the 1965 BJ8.

G'day



I am writing a short piece on a 1965 BJ8.



Would anyone know the list price of a BJ8 in the first half of 1965?



Many thanks
