or to vote for this car or leave a comment

Sold new by the Fred Deeley dealership in Vancouver, British Columbia. Purchased in Vancouver in 1991 needing work, but 3 children and family pressures resulted in her mostly sitting patiently for many years.

After a really bad false start, she was shipped over to Victoria and the top notch restoration company Coachwerks that did a fantastic job of repairing the metalwork and giving her the current two-toned paint job. A full restoration was completed in 2015 and gradual tweaking has been performed since then. Latest addition has been an electronic ignition.

She has won several awards including Best in Class, and was invited to one show where I was just the needed driver. The car was the star!

Sarah, you do not provide an e-mail address so I can't contact you directly. I wanted to let you know that I have been the keeper of the BJ8 Registry since 1998, and I have your car in the registry based on the data you entered at healeydata.com and The A-H Experience. The BJ8 Registry is different from the completely passive sites like those in that there is an actual human (me) who receives, evaluates, follows up to correct data when necessary, and uses the database for the benefit of the Healey community in general, and for individual BJ8 owners in particular. I hope you will allow me to provide more information about the registry by contacting me: sbyers@ec.rr.com. I also have 37066 in the registry under three previous owners in Michigan and Florida.Thanks!Steve Byers (also a member of The A-H Experience)HBJ8L/36666BJ8 RegistryAHCA Delegate at LargeHavelock, NC

Comment by Sarah W
This commenter wrote this comment for both of my BJ8 Austin-Healeys, even though it has NOTHING to do with this car. Awhile back, I requested that he remove irrelevant and/or false information about my other BJ8, which he refused to do. He seems to think that he has more rights than the actual owners. He runs the healeydata site, and then there is also the XKEData website that also has factually irrelevant and false information about another of my cars. That individual also refused to modify or remove any of that false information. I have tried to remove my information on both sites. You would be wise to NOT enter any information on either of these sites. They don't deserve it, since they clearly abuse the power that they have decided they have!
