at Barrett-Jackson (especially if it had triple Webers and diamond

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans
MS";color:#002060">Earl, as to the official
nomenclature for the color of the Metallic Golden Beige
cars: I have copies of certificates for 89 of them.
Eighty-seven give the color name as "Metallic Golden
Beige". One gives it as "Golden Beige", and one (yours)
gives it as "Beige" with the notation after that "Probably
Golden Beige Metallic".<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans
MS";color:#002060">My conclusion would be that the
official name as documented in the majority of cases is
"Metallic Golden Beige", with Golden Beige Metallic being
not recorded in the build records but as "Beige" was
interpreted by the BMIHT staffer who produced your
certificate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans
MS";color:#002060">The Metallic Golden Beige Registry
does still exist with John Heffron. It is not an
officially-recognized AHCA registry and therefore not listed
in Healey Marque magazine. I believe John documents only
cars for which the owner has contributed information to
him. The BJ8 Registry goal is to document ALL BJ8s whether
or not any owner can be identified. To accomplish this
goal, I have had invaluable help from a friend in England
who has researched for me in the BMIHT archives for more
than 15 years. The BJ8 Registry has ALL of the 553 original
Metallic Golden Beige cars included, so any cars John has in
his register are incorporated in the BJ8s. I do not know if
John tries to record any details beyond the VIN, as does the
BJ8 Registry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
