    Hello, I am looking for the story of the car in its first years in the US (which State, city...?)

    Serge: The BJ8 Registry is the only source (to my knowledge) for the history of a BJ8. The Registry does currently have a record of an owner in Holland circa 1999 - 2013 and the original owner in Virginia.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
