Jeez Hank 

The BJ8 looks easily restorable particularly down here in Aust. Just a bit of a cut and polish and away you go.

Wouldn’t be scrapping it in any event

Say, Perry- I am keeping track for the 1st year's production:  1274 cars in 1953.  I have about 300 accounted for, but no one knows just how many of those original BN1s are still  on the road. If there is 500, that would be amazing considering how much abuse these cars took over the years. 

I have been compiling the list for years but just can't get the cooperation of the community to come forward with their information. I relied on healeydata.com for some of the listings, but that list too is poorly attended and dated.

If you know of any of these cars from chassis #138031 to 150363 please have them go to the website: healeyhelper.com and fill in the form to list their vehicle. I am getting some assistance from British Heritage Museum.

Currently we have 9 Healey Registries listed in Austin-Healey Magazine, monthly from both clubs, but I do not know how complete their lists are.  There are less than 200 of the original 640 100-Ms accounted for. Check with Steve Byers as to how many BJ8 might still be around. Lots of attrition there.

Regards, Hank

Listers
Had a thought today, after a brisk walk in the snow, about how many of the approximately 72,000 big Austin Healeys built are still out there.  
Anyone keeping up with the registry folks for a current count?
