[Healeys] What year?

[healeyguy at aol.com]

It would seem that production breaks or changes in Austin Healey models varied greatly during production. Although I donbt have a lot of info to really verify that assumption. Perhaps the registry folk have the best info on that..  I believe the November 1964 build date would be near the beginning of what we would normally think of as the production year and therefor be referred to as a 1965 model.  The Phase 2 BJ8 rolled out in May of 1964 so that was a significant change early in the calendar year. Whether you can call the car a 64 or 65 also may have to do with when the car was first sold. In many US states the date first sold is the criteria used to ID the car.

For a Healey built 16 Nov 1964, would you call it a 64 or 65?

Thx
