[Healeys] BJ8 Production start dates

[Max Byers]

Neil, Phase 1 assembly began with chassis 25317 on 11 October 1963 (the first chassis number, 25315, was not started until 20 January 1964).    Phase 2 production “officially” began with the first Phase 2 chassis number, 26705 on 12 May 64 (26740 was begun the same day); however the cars were not built in strict chassis number sequence, so there were other (higher) chassis numbers started earlier:  

Chassis 31338 was begun (and finished) on 5 Apr 64.   I have no record (so far) of any Phase 2 chassis number being started earlier than April 1964.

List and Steve Byers,

 

I am trying to verify production start dates (month and year) for Phase I and Phase II BJ8s for the Popularity car show class signs I am producing for Conclave 2021.  I found the year dates in Bill Emerson's book, but also want the month of production start.  

 

Thanks.

 

Neil Anderson
