<p class="yiv6089056265MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">The original owner of my BJ8
told me the car was stolen from him the same day he bought it new. Police
found it early the next morning, out of gas and the perps took his portable
radio, but otherwise the car was fine. I have the newspaper article about the
theft.</span></p>
<p class="yiv6089056265MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;"> </span></p>
<p class="yiv6089056265MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">In 2007, the owner of a BJ8
asked If the BJ8 Registry had any record of 40136. It was stolen from him in
1970 and at the time was not insured. I did not have any record of it, but
added it to the registry with the info he provided. I saw it come up for sale
by a dealer in 2012 and notified him. He was able to recover it, 42 years
after it was stolen. </span></p>
<p class="yiv6089056265MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">Most owners of Healeys are
interested in the previous ownership history of their cars, but there is no
other place except the BJ8 Registry (for BJ8s, of course) where the continuous
ownership record can be documented and preserved for those who come after us.
It makes it possible for one owner of a car to contact the other owners if they
wish to do so.</span></p>
<p class="yiv6089056265MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">Anyone with a BJ8 who has not
allowed me to include it in the registry should do so. You never know. The
Registry currently documents more than 55% of total BJ8 production (9,767 of
17,712 cars built).</span></p>

delightful Irishman. He had bought it new. Unfortunately died a few years
ago but when he was still around I would visit him periodically and over a
glass of sherry (or two) he would recall stories about the car while in his
ownership. One recollection was that while working late one evening in
his Toronto office (he was an engineer), he heard a Healey start up and to his
horror watched out the window as someone tore out of the parking lot in his
car. He feared the worst as there had been a rash of sports car thefts
and the kids who were stealing were joyriding for a few hours then driving them
into Lake Ontario.</span></p>

week after I got it, no insurance.3 months later I had moved and was getting
ready to go look at an MGB for sale when I thought I would give the Boston
police one more call. They said they were glad to hear from me because they
found the car a month ago, but because I had moved they had no way to get ahold
of me. So I took a bus and hitched a ride out to Groton Massachusetts where I
found it sitting at a gas station. Funny thing was, it was also full of
camping equipment, that wasn't there when it got stolen. Everything was in the
car my tools, nick-nacks, the only thing that was damaged was the trunk lock
and the ignition. I guess they would just turn the battery off to stop it, then
turn it on to start it up.</span></p>

running theme. I purchased a BJ7 in the mid 1990s. Started restoring. Moved
several times. When I retrieved it from a rental garage (four years ago after
having stored it five years) the interior had been stolen. It was in separate
boxes waiting for me to finish the body. So now I have no seats, carpets, door
cards or interior trim. It was all leather and worth several grand. That took
the steam out of me finishing the car. <br>
<br>
I'm retiring this spring so I hope to put the time (and money) into get it
done. Well see if this happens or if I too end up selling and enjoying a
different car. Though I could give it to a 20 something nephew has the skill to
finish it. He is not yet shown interest in something like that, he's more into
mid-80s pick-up trucks. But tastes change.<br>
<br>
Good luck with the paring down of projects. Life gets shorter and we all have
to decide what we want to spend our time doing. Driving a Bugeye is a lot more
fun to most people than restoring a car.</span></p>

As far as I know never stolen or badly abused during the first 10 years of its existence. But must say the body required repair when it was purchased. The factory didn’t spend a lot of money on paint back then. IN 1965 it was really a big deal to fork out $275 US for a 10 year old car. Had a lot of fun over the years and it has enabled a lot of great long lasting friendships. <div>Memories!!!!</div><div>Perry<br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Oct 15, 2022, at 4:54 PM, BJ8Healeys via Healeys <healeys@autox.team.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

<p class="yiv6089056265MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">The original owner of my BJ8
told me the car was stolen from him the same day he bought it new. Police
found it early the next morning, out of gas and the perps took his portable
radio, but otherwise the car was fine. I have the newspaper article about the
theft.</span></p>

<p class="yiv6089056265MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">In 2007, the owner of a BJ8
asked If the BJ8 Registry had any record of 40136. It was stolen from him in
1970 and at the time was not insured. I did not have any record of it, but
added it to the registry with the info he provided. I saw it come up for sale
by a dealer in 2012 and notified him. He was able to recover it, 42 years
after it was stolen. </span></p>
<p class="yiv6089056265MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">Most owners of Healeys are
interested in the previous ownership history of their cars, but there is no
other place except the BJ8 Registry (for BJ8s, of course) where the continuous
ownership record can be documented and preserved for those who come after us.
It makes it possible for one owner of a car to contact the other owners if they
wish to do so.</span></p>
<p class="yiv6089056265MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">Anyone with a BJ8 who has not
allowed me to include it in the registry should do so. You never know. The
Registry currently documents more than 55% of total BJ8 production (9,767 of
17,712 cars built).</span></p>

delightful Irishman. He had bought it new. Unfortunately died a few years
ago but when he was still around I would visit him periodically and over a
glass of sherry (or two) he would recall stories about the car while in his
ownership. One recollection was that while working late one evening in
his Toronto office (he was an engineer), he heard a Healey start up and to his
horror watched out the window as someone tore out of the parking lot in his
car. He feared the worst as there had been a rash of sports car thefts
and the kids who were stealing were joyriding for a few hours then driving them
into Lake Ontario.</span></p>

week after I got it, no insurance.3 months later I had moved and was getting
ready to go look at an MGB for sale when I thought I would give the Boston
police one more call. They said they were glad to hear from me because they
found the car a month ago, but because I had moved they had no way to get ahold
of me. So I took a bus and hitched a ride out to Groton Massachusetts where I
found it sitting at a gas station. Funny thing was, it was also full of
camping equipment, that wasn't there when it got stolen. Everything was in the
car my tools, nick-nacks, the only thing that was damaged was the trunk lock
and the ignition. I guess they would just turn the battery off to stop it, then
turn it on to start it up.</span></p>

running theme. I purchased a BJ7 in the mid 1990s. Started restoring. Moved
several times. When I retrieved it from a rental garage (four years ago after
having stored it five years) the interior had been stolen. It was in separate
boxes waiting for me to finish the body. So now I have no seats, carpets, door
cards or interior trim. It was all leather and worth several grand. That took
the steam out of me finishing the car. <br>
<br>
I'm retiring this spring so I hope to put the time (and money) into get it
done. Well see if this happens or if I too end up selling and enjoying a
different car. Though I could give it to a 20 something nephew has the skill to
finish it. He is not yet shown interest in something like that, he's more into
mid-80s pick-up trucks. But tastes change.<br>
<br>
Good luck with the paring down of projects. Life gets shorter and we all have
to decide what we want to spend our time doing. Driving a Bugeye is a lot more
fun to most people than restoring a car.</span></p>

I have always been satisfied with sheet metal from both British car specialists and AHspares. There are a few things I'd like to order the are only currently offered by Ahead4healeys. It appears their sheet metal is made by their own (owned) company shapecraft.
I have zero experience with them. I'd like to get some thoughts on quality? Emailing off list is perfectly fine if preferred. </div>
