This is a very rare and sought after 1967 Austin Healey BJ8 Roaster - Red / Black. These cars value are on the rise and are very solid safe investments. This car has been owned by the same person since 1970. This is a 2 Owner car. It was purchased new in PA and then traded to a Chevrolet Dealership in 1970. (I have the Sales Contract). It has been owned by the owner's of the dealership ever since. This car has not been restored. The car ID# is as follows: VIN# HBJ8L35447 The car was originally red and then was painted yellow by the first owner and then was repainted back to the original red in 1987. The car has a clear PA Title. This car is a rare Solid original. This car is a great example of a very nice driver and with potential to make into a very nice show car with some work. The paint is very good on this one. On scale 1-10 it is an 8.5 The car runs and drives without any know problems. The car some very minor surface rust on the frame I have inspected the undercarriage and it is solid. I know what to look for and there is no need be worried. The only thing this car needs is new tires (minor dry rot).

I managed to buy this car and had it shipped into France where I have just finished importing it . There were a few things which neaded fixing ie breaks (it hadn't moved for a while) but now it runs like a dream. Looking forward to summer.
