Details of this car and its <br>> recent restoration<br>> appear in an article in my local clubs magazine 'Hundreds and Thousands' in <br>> July 2012<br>> <br>> You will all know Steve from his Streamliner project car and his appearances <br>> at Bonneville<br>> and more recently for his restoration of one of the original 100S - NOJ 393 <br>> which to my<br>> knowledge is still the most expensive Healey ever sold.<br>> <br>> While there have been a large number of BJ8's imported into Australia over <br>> the past few years<br>> ( We still have only approx. 300 hundred including my car according to <br>> Patrick Quinn's records )<br>> and only 8 were originally imported this has now come to a grinding halt due <br>> to the devaluation<br>> of the Australian $ which is only equivalent to about $0.75 US<br>> <br>> In fact the worm has turned as a few days ago I was in at the Healey Factory <br>> and they were<br>> converting a BN2 with some 100M add-ons back to left hand drive for re <br>> export to a buyer in the<br>> USA.
