or to vote for this car or leave a comment

bought summer 2025 with no history, very clean body.
Engine leaks a bit of oil.
Overdrive was not working, changing the solenoid makes it.
Electrical loom was modified (no throttle nor main relay for overdrive, maybe other things).
Daily odometer counting correctly, but main odometer doesn't.
Runs pretty well, did about 5 000 km since July 31st 25.

So far :
- overdrive repair
- insulation on transmission tunnel
- revotec additional fan
- rear lowering kit
Planned :
- understand oil leakage provenance

Is this body # in batch 3235 or 3236 ? You will find it on the firewall body tag. It is not always on the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust copy of the factory record, but If you don't have this you should get it. One of mine, 41799 is in batch 3236. Your car does not show up on my list of body and batch numbers. I recomend contacting Steve Byers, of the BJ8 registry. sbyers@ec.rr.com

Hi Bob,I already connected Steve, my car is on healeydata https://www.healeydata.com/cars/detail/?car=HBJ8L41413The issue is that my car has NO body tag, so Steve was disappointed.

I see I'm not the first to notice the batch number dilemma, did you get a copy of the factory record?
