Equipment
Silver painted wire wheels, blackwall tires, BMC pushbutton radio, overdrive, luggage rack. Fair old paint, a few dents and marginal chrome. Mostly original and pretty scruffy underhood. Sound body and trim.
Market commentary
Unrestored BJ8 Phase III Big Healeys are thin on the ground these days. Given the treatment by Kurt Tanner or his counterparts among Healey restorers this could be a $100,000 car and its restoration, professionally done by experts familiar with the cars and their parts sources, would cost less than the finished cars value. Even at a little more than this bid this was an overlooked opportunity.
