Hi Joe, This is what you should have instead of the Cayman. I sold my Cayman but have two of these. The further you drive it the better it gets. It is also far more reliable than a Porsche and much cheaper to run.
It's nicely done, a beauty. But not original specs. It's modified car. The exhaust, interior, engine compartment are all modified not to original specs or colors. A BJ8 would have a vinyl interior with perforated seats and silver metallic beading, for instance. The side exhaust will cause you to go deaf and the whole exhaust on an original car would be painted black so it it doesn't show hanging down below the car. Shall I go on?
Nah you covered it. Truely stunning car, I was under the impression it was more standard. Obviously mentioned the exhaust was not but ah well. Looks great either way.
Thank you! I know! Did you spot the lense flair. Bloody love that shot. It’s a private road so they can close it off but when there isn’t a race in it’s fine to drive about. Good for content:)
The side exit exhaust is awesome! Wish ours had that. A lot of fun to drive!
Yeah it’s pretty cool! Loud also!
These are beautiful cars one of the all time classics
The X brace behind the grille should be black.
Almost original then 🤣
Looks lovely!
250hp from a stock twin SU car? I find that a bit hard to believe, that's extreme race car tune for a 3 litre cast iron pushrod engine.
Indeed 150 bhp is closer.
The Healey 3000 mark 11a is undoubtedly the best of the range not the mark111 which was Americanized.I know.
A polished wood dash on a sports car ~ I think not. Give me a BJ7 anyday.
Yeah I mean it’s not something I’d particularly want.
☺️🤗😁❤️✌️

I did the same side exit with my 64 Phase 1 BJ8. Didn't want to run it down the rear.
It looks way better as a side exit too. Epic cars
This a big Healey. Try a Sprite, the small Healey.
I used to have a Midget which is similar and I genuinely preferred the size of this.
Is there a reason why both fog lamps are not fluted? The left is different from the right. I have a 1960 and it's the same thing.
one is a spot lamp and one is a flame thrower. 🤗 One for focus, one for wide area coverage. Original Lucas lamps.
How do you get to drive such cars so

I was always led to believe that the BJ8's were fitted with ICI "Ambla" upholstery and not leather?
Nice video mate - something different! iPhone bringing home the goods too 👌🏻 What’s the deal with that circuit? Is it a public road?

@@JoeTalksCars that’s really cool! Shame it’s so far away from me ☹️
Make the trip!! 🤣be good to collaborate at some point too
Hey Joe , your just too long. What a peach of a car though.
Haha 😂 we’re people that small back on the day?
@@JoeTalksCars five foot two… “ yes sir perfect for you “
You mentioned it is for sale but not the price. I am sitting down. ;-)
Oooh I believe it’s £130,000 🤣
A nice car, but details are wrong everywhere.
Where?
Restored to not original condition. Not better than a new one.
I’m sure the guys that restored it will be able to clarify what’s been done👍
Nice subject but remedial presentation. Sorry but stick with your day job.
This was a while back. Stuck at this. Granted not the best but got to start somewhere. Feel like my new stuff is a little better
Next time can you show the care not your face
