[Healeys] BJ7 or BJ8

[sebring3000 sebring3000]

Is this the car I saw on a facebook site?  My memory is that it has a 
Healey 100 windscreen frame and no door locks!!!!!!!!
Me thinks this is a made up car or the result of some owners off-beat 
style.


Joe who drives a BJ.8 with no console and a flat alloy dash with 
sidescreens.  Drop down chassis but single turn indicators.

Hmmm ... Am I the only one who thinks         this was a bit shady?

Brian, I have             seen a car recently that was advertised for 
sale by Beverly             Hills Car Club as a BJ7.  It had a wood 
dash, BJ8 "short             tail" center console (but no armrest), BJ8 
front seats and             door panels, BJ7 rear seat upholstery and 
BJ7 backrest.  The             external features were either BJ7 or 
Phase 1 BJ8.  The car             had a BJ7 VIN.  It was not possible to 
determine whether the             car began life as a BJ7 or Phase 1 
BJ8.        
I am aware of             one other car that was created by Fourintune 
out of two             junked BJ8s and they put a BJ7 VIN plate on it 
and sold it             to someone in New York state.  This car later 
came to North             Carolina and was sold after the bond period 
expired.  The             new owner had some problems registering the 
car with the NY             BJ7 number because of the discrepancies.
