   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   Graeme M ( BJ8 )

Re: [Healeys] Number of cars BN1 -BJ8 still out there       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? Perry
