[Healeys] color of convertible top frame

[josef-eckert at t-online.de]

George, 

	I think in those days it was really necessary to have a manual in
German, at least a dealer`s translation of the original. I think it
was even law to have it when selling a car in Germany, perhaps still
is? In the 60s not many Germans could understand the English language
as it was not teached at school. Nowadays most people can speak it
fluently and you would not have any problems here speaking English on
your visit.

	    Thanks for the info. Interesting you have an original German
owners manual (Betriebsanleitung) for the Sprite. This leads me to
believe there must have been on for the BJ8.   George   -----Original

    George, I can only assume, as I have never seen a German spec BJ8
in real. They are rare as hen`s teeth. But I own a German spec 1965
Sprite MK3 with locking steering wheel. I have an original German
owners manual (Betriebsanleitung) for the Sprite and the centre dash
hole has the ignition switch fitted, but not wired. So I assume it was
similar with BJ8s.   Josef Eckert Konigswinter/Germany    Von: George

Sep 2013 22:22:55 +0200       Josef Can you tell me if any of the
export BJ8's owner manuals were in German? Also if the car has a
locking steering wheel and ignition  what was in the center dash hole
where the ignition switch would normally be on a BJ8?   George

	To be concours correct the genuine original colour for the hood frame
is BMC Cumulus Grey GR29. Josef Eckert Konigswinter/Germany Von: "BJ8

18:10:45 +0200 Rustoleum Smoke Gray #7751 is pretty close to the
original color of the top frame. Steve Byers HBJ8L/36666 BJ8 Registry
