            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>

            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>
