<p>It was not uncommon in the British motor industry that elements
of the earlier or next model were fitted to the cars in the
transition period so you may find BJ8 elements in late BJ7īs or
BJ7 elements in early BJ8īs. <br>
</p>
<p>Perhaps the car was restored/upgraded with BJ8 parts.<br>

Do the body, chassis and engine numbers on the car match up with
the Heritage certificate? If not, then parts have come from other
BJ7 or BJ8 donor cars.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I currently manage the AHOABC monthly
newsletter and website. In that capacity I received a
request to list a new members car for sale. He lives in
another town about 400 kms from Vancouver where I live. When
he joined the club, he listed his car as a 1963 BJ7. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is the car he wishes to sell. He has
owned it since 1975. He advised that he had the car restored
several years ago. He sent me a number of high quality
photos of the car. The car is beautiful example of a big
Healey and looks gorgeous. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first thing that stood out to me was
the car had a wood BJ8 dash. In addition, it has a BJ8
exhaust system. The interior pictures showed a BJ8 style
armrest. Under the hood, the horns are mounted BJ8 style. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is no voltage regulator to check
whether it is new or old style as the car has been equipped
with an alternator. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The car is badged with a 3000 MKII badge
above the grill. The car has all BJ7 style lights. The rear
seat, which on a BJ8 unfolds to make a luggage carrier, is
BJ7 style.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I emailed back that it appeared to
be a BJ8 and not a BJ7 he emailed me a copy of the heritage
certificate. The certificate definitely lists a BJ7 with a
manufacturing date of the 1 - 7 June 1962.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other than the car being a hybrid formed
from two cars - BJ7 and a BJ8 I am at a loss to explain it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone experienced anything like this?<o:p></o:p></p>
