<p>Steve,</p>
<p>Most if not all of these registries are listed in the Austin-Healey Club USA Resource Book as well.
<br>
</p>
<p>Some of the ones listed in Healey Marque are listed as AHCA registries and not everyone belong or want to belong to the AHCA and therein lies one problem in my opinion. All of these registries should be totally independent of any Clubs much like the Worldwide
100M Registry. I agree that they should be supported by all Austin-Healey Clubs worldwide but independent of any of them.
<br>
</p>
<p>I have a 100-6 BN6 and it has been registered with the 100-6 Registry for years but I never hear anything about that Registry.
<br>
</p>
<p>The only one I ever hear anything about is the BJ8 one, the one you run, the Worldwide 100M and I used to hear about the 100 Registry when it was run jointly by Rich Chrysler and John ??? from the UK but had not heard about it until Randy posted a message
a couple days ago. <br>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Comic Sans MS"; color:#002060">All of the registries and contact information for the registrars are listed in Healey Marque. Of course, not everyone is a member of AHCA and receives the magazine. As for the BJ8
Registry, I try as much as possible to publicize the registry in as many ways as possible, including participating on this list and on the British Car Forum, having links to the BJ8 Registry hosted on several Healey-related websites, etc. I think a lot of
owners have little idea what a registry is and does -- or they think they do and they are wrong; and even if they are aware of them they don't make the effort to contact the registrar to find out what the registry can do for them.</span></p>
