Hi, John -
There are registrars in the USA for all the Healey models. The ones
endorsed by AHCA and AHC USA are identified here:
http://www.serve.com/AHCA/ahcareg.htm and
http://www.healey.org/other-registries.shtml. Exactly how active each
registry is depends mostly on the energy each registrar wants to devote
to it.
I personally have a passion for the subject and consequently devote a
lot of effort to making the BJ8 registry a useful and valuable resource
for BJ8 owners. Other registrars may not be so passionate or active and
some of them seem to be hard to get hold of, or difficult to get useful
information out of.
There are also similar registers (or registries, as we tend to call
them) in the UK for the various models, and I'm sure someone will
provide a link to those.
Why not have one worldwide integrated registry for each model? Makes
sense, doesn't it? The potential value of a registry is in direct
proportion to the number of existing cars it captures, and to the
specific details collected.
The actual value is realized depending on the willingness of the
individual registrar to use the information for the benefit of owners.
The fragmented nature of the registries is well-recognized, and there is
an effort currently underway to investigate ways to remedy that. The
big problem is the issue of control of the information, and privacy.
The various USA Healey clubs collect owner's names and car VINs from
people as they join the clubs. That information becomes club
"property", and due to concerns about privacy and loss of control it
becomes difficult to share that with other organizations. In the case
of the UK registers, the privacy laws in the UK prohibit release of
personal information without prior consent of the individual --
obviously not practical for a wholesale exchange of data leading to
integration into one registry.
Cheers!

can we
register earlier 3000 models? and for the other listers...other
models as
well?
Thanks in advance,
