In 1966 air conditioning was an approved BMC factory accessory as listed in the
salesman guide and showroom material. This was a very rare option and not many
were sold. I have just installed a factory system in my BJ8 with the help of
Hendrix Wire Wheel in Greensboro NC. I have also assumed the duties of
maintaing the registry that was started by Pat Yoas in the 80's. I have one
remaing complete system NOS still in orignal boxes as well as all literature
associated with the unit. They were actually produced by Coolaire of Miami, but
they also had a plant in Luton England. According to Pat Y, who discussed the
unit with Donald, told him that several were installed at the factory. Since
each unit has its own serial number, we have record of cars installed with a/c.
Recently we believe we uncovered the earliest production unit based on
recorded serial numbers. I will be glad to discuss the units and my
installation with you if you would like to contact me off list.

I have seen several references to Healey 3000's with air conditioning. Was
this a factory option or are these after-market additions? Thanks.
