Try talking to someone in the French Healey club if they can help.

I was in the same situation some years ago in Denmark. You really want a =
car, there are not that many around, and when you go look at them you =
can=E2=80=99t see all the errors they have, somehow you are blind to =
them.

Get someone else to join and get their opinion. I spent three years =
finding one. After some time I almost got a bit annoyed because there =
were errors on all of the cars in the price range I could afford.

After seeing perhaps three different cars you kind of get an idea of =
what to expect. In the price range he probably looks at, he has to =
accept errors. I wanted a mechanically good car, with no rust. I had to =
accept not to good paint and other cosmetic errors.=20

=20

If you want the history, Steve Byers might help, he has many BJ8=C2=B4s =
registered. You need to get the VIN from the seller.

I bought mine because it had a good history,  I was able to find it for =
sale in USA in 2010 with lots of info, info that was sadly lost when it =
was exported to Denmark.

=20

I think this car would not be my first choice, it looks like it has been =
welded badly on some pictures. Parts are also missing, might not be =
much, but why is it missing.

I would say with patience he will find a better car, he might have to =
travel a bit in France to find it. Always go see them, pictures are =
impossible to judge a car from.

If it=C2=B4s close to him I would go see it.

Bernard,

Thank you for this. Yes, I am well aware of the difference between =
Biarritz and Paris. My nephew lives in Paris and also has a place in =
Biarritz. I was unaware of from which location he was going to be =
driving.

Anyhow, it appears to be in Maisons Laffite 78600 which seems to be =
north-east Paris.

See:-

My nephew, Pierre-Henri claret, can be found at:-

[email-masked]

He is French and English, his late father being French and my sister =
being English.

I would be very pleased and grateful if you could help him in any =
respect. You could tell him, for example, if that garage is half way =
honest??

Thanks again,

Simon

Simon, 15' from Biarritz or 15' from Paris is a bit different. They're =
some 800 Kms (500 mi) away.

Anyway, I can advise.

<[email-masked]> a =C3=A9crit :

When he was little my nephew always loved my 3000 and used to say that =
he=E2=80=99d get one =E2=80=9Cwhen he grew up=E2=80=9D.

Well, some 20 years later, he=E2=80=99s looking to buy a MkIII. =
=E2=80=9967. Imported from California. Presumably a =E2=80=9CPhase =
Two=E2=80=9D.=20

He=E2=80=99s French and lives in France so the LHD will suit OK. The car =
is in France and will stay there. I think he said that its 15 minutes =
south of Biarritz. Maybe 15 minutes south of Paris....

The car has fibre glass front wings, but that appears to be =E2=80=9Cin  =
the price=E2=80=9D. The car sounds clean enough from what I can gather, =
but that=E2=80=99s not very much.....my being in England and the car =
being in France!!

=20

Is there anyone in France who can help or advise him?

=20

Does anyone in the US recall a MkIII with two fibre glass front wings =
that was sold into/taken to France??? Long shot, I know.....

=20

Thanks,

Simon.
