Would be interested to learn about the Engine, not the original fitted to the car. The nos. are far apart. is it a genuine MKIII BJ8 Engine

Mr. Helm, your engine is original to a car with chassis number somewhere around 26445 (/H1557) and 26552 (/H1568). Engines were not matched one-for -one with the chassis, so it isn't possible to be more precise than that. I would like to discuss your car with you if you can see my email address. if not, you can get it by Googling "Steve Byers Healey" (without the quotes)

From the owner:
Chassis No. clearly stamped on front of chassis cross-member and commission-plate.
There are no car & body nos. on a plate on bulkhead.
The Healey was built, as per BMIHT Cert., on 01.10.64. The first record of registration I have is on the Dutch Registration Cert. I was given on purchase, is 31.06.1966. The car was evidently imported into the Netherlands from the USA in ca. 2014. Interesting that the car has separate side-lights up front i.e. Phase 2.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
