[Healeys] Number of cars BN1-BJ8 still out there

[BJ8Healeys]

I'm glad you asked that question. As the keeper of the BJ8 Registry
since 1998, I can report that the registry just entered its 9,564th
car yesterday, with one in Finland. That is exactly 54% of total BJ8
production (17,712). That also includes 75 cars that have definitely
been confirmed as Scrapped. For the others, each one is a "snapshot"
in time (i.e., at the time it was entered or the date of the record).
For some of them, there is only a record of an owner in the 1970s (for
example). Does it still exist? Who knows? Even a car entered in 2002
or last year could have disappeared since then.Of course, many cars
have gone to Healey Heaven with no record being kept of them so if
they aren't in the registry now it can't be known whether they are
still in existence or not.
Some are Healeying around with no record because the owner doesn't
know about the registries, or doesn't see the value of entering the
details of his/her car into a database, or is protective of his/her
"privacy".
