[Healeys] Copiglia band clamps

Thu Oct 21 22:08:59 MDT 2021

Bob,

I have some of those clips, generically called ‘band clamps’.   Jubilee clamps are a brand on their own, and not the same.

Some 40 years ago I visited Stephen Griswold’s restoration shop.  They knew them only as ‘Italian’ clips.  But they are more correctly known a Copiglia band clamps.

They are used a lot on Alfa-Romeos but, a Ferrari-owning friends tells me, not on Ferraris.

I have a bunch of them on my shelf.  

The only Hundred I’ve seen them on is Roger Moment’s, when I last saw it in 2008 – photo below.   I thought they were fitted only to the early BN1s.  Curt: am I correct?

First cockpit trim piece I've seen with a groove; was this an option, or maybe an aftermarket piece (note the groove is apparent in the fourth photo on the listing; subsequent photos appear to be different)?  Here's my M's trim piece; AFAIK this is original, verified as 'Registry Certified' by the M Registry* and, of course, the BMIHT cert. Interesting this has a recent (September) BMIHT cert; looks like they've changed the wording for 'M' confirmation (my much earlier cert just implies this is an M car because of the 'louvred' bonnet). Beautiful car to be sure.

I have the same radiator hose clamps; this is the only other car I've seen with them; are they correct? I had a long 'conversation' with Rich Chrysler over these, but to this day I'm not sure if we were on the same page. IIRC, he called them 'Jubilee clamps,' but I think those are the screw-on type. One thing's for sure: they will be a royal PITA if I ever have to replace the hoses.

* I realize this is not the canonical source, but AFAIK it's the most comprehensive database available (unfortunately, probably not as reliable as Steve's BJ8 database). Bill requires various 'proof' items for 'Registry Certification,' like proper stamped numbers on trim pieces, the boot prop, etc. and the hand-scribed notations on the carbs and, I think, the distributor (though they may be stamped). Note I'm not interested in disputing anybody's car's authenticity; my dad and I made reasonable efforts to keep our car as original as possible, but I insisted on some maintainabilty/drivability mods (K&N air filter, Pertronix). I am, slowly, trying to address some of the incorrect things (like the LH side windshield post bolt).

Hi all, 

I am familiar with this car, restored by Forever Healeys in Post Falls ID. West coast car that I don't believe as ANYTHING to do with Wayne Carini.  

I believe that I judged this car Concours Gold several years ago.

Cheers,

Curt

I think it's been 'around the horn' a few times; I've seen what appears to be the same car--black/red wasn't a common color AFAIK--for sale at a couple places over the last few years.

IIRC the 'barn find' Wayne Carini of 'Chasing Classic Cars' brokered for a family was black/red; I wonder if it's the same car (IIRC, it went for around $200K after a 'mild' resto).

This factory 100M should bring top dollars, excellent restoration by a well know restorer of the marque and unlike the last car that claimed to be a 100M on BAT, this one has all the legitimate paperwork to show it’s provenance.
