There were a couple actually built in '68, no? 

Maybe it was registered in '68; my BJ8 was built in Nov. '66, but wasn't sold/registered until '67, so as far as the State of California is concerned it's a 1967 car.

One BJ8 (the last) was built in 1968 (March).  However, the U.S. custom is to observe a "new model year" that begins in September.  So, many cars that were built in 1967 (and some that were built earlier than '67) were advertised and sold in the USA as "new '68s", especially those that arrived in the country just prior to September 1967 or sat around unsold until the "new model year" arrived.
The "year" of a Healey has no real significance since the cars weren't built by model year.  Most of the rest of the world except the USA considers the "year" to be the actual calendar year in which the car was built.  I have many cars in the registry that were one year in the USA suddenly become another year when they show up overseas.

I can vouch for that.  I bought a new Morgan Plus4 about that time and 
it arrived late enough that the US considered it next year's model, and 
thus it didn't meet the new safety regs.  I never did get the car.
