[Healeys] BJ8 on Bring A Trailer

Not necessarily, Keith.  The octagonal knockoffs on cars for the USA began to appear consistently about chassis 42000.
41046 and 41087 had them from new and there are many cars later than that for which the BMIHT data does not identify octagonal knockoffs.  Of course, the certificates are not consistent in how they list such items.
And, many people have replaced the octagonal knockoffs with the eared ones because they like them better.  It's hard to draw any hard conclusions about things like that that could have easily been changed from original in the last 50 years.

By the way, for reasons I do not know cars for Philadelphia as early as 1965 had the octagonal knockoffs.

 Also Steve shouldn t the knockoffs be octagonal rather than eared if this is a late car?
