[Healeys] Healey Hi-Rider

[BJ8Healeys]

Perry, the photo of the car was not mine but was sent to me by someone
who was at Conclave. I wasn't. The external features of the car
(primarily the convertible windscreen) tells me the donor car was
either a BJ7 or a Phase 1 BJ8 (lights and door handle). I am
interested in documenting the current status of ALL BJ8s that were
originally manufactured, so if this car left the factory as a BJ8, I
would like to know WHICH BJ8 it was. I'm hoping someone who saw the
car at Conclave might be able to provide more information about it,
and/or perhaps knows who the owner is and how to contact him/her.

  Steve /. Listers To your question about the what this build started
as, its hard to tell without more photos. I could not enlarge your
photos (a problem with my PC). Also this car may be a collection of
parts from different models. Rarely does someone build a modified from
a bone stock , well running BJ7 or BJ8 that is worth $50K. as is. 
 Folks will ask why would someone build something like this but it is
a common topic in most all marque based groups. Change to the original
has been a car issue and an expected happening for more than a 100
years.  
 One of the cars in our garage is a Modified 100 and I have been asked
"why" before. Would suggest that folks take a ride in a non-stock car
just to see/feel the differences and in many cases improvements. A V8
in a 2300 pound car will put a smile on many (most) faces. Put 600HP
in one and you feel like you just took a ride on the best
rollercoaster around.  
 Hope all well at Conclave. Perry

  Hello, Healeyphiles - 
 A friend sent me the attached photo of a car at Conclave. Sure is one
way to solve the ground clearance problem. Does anyone know if the
donor car was a BJ7 or a Phase 1 BJ8?
