“The Midget”
I am the seventh owner, owned since 12 November 1987. Have contacted all previous owners, and received original license plate, window sticker, and documents from original owner in 1990.
Car now is old enough in North Carolina that the original 1973 NC license plate has been installed again. Engine installed when I bought the car was not original and was replaced in April 2004 by a similar rebuilt engine from a 1972 Midget, S/N 12V/587Z/L15348.

.... 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 have ownership history for ***** under three previous owners in Michigan and Florida.Thanks!

Steve - This is what I am talking about, you writing a comment and then doing a Ctrl+Copy of the comment and then pasting it onto someone's other car's webpage. This was completely unnecessary, and every time I saw that comment on both of my Healey webpages, it just rankled, especially since it seemed as if you were stating that you ran the healeydata site. A short time ago, I bought a part for another of my cars, only to have the German seller recite info about one of my cars from this site. Sorry, but this whole registry thing seems very Big Brother'ish to me since these sites have way more power than the car owners, and in the case of the ....Data websites, you can't remove or do anything about it!
