For John Cox: sorry this response is so late. If you had contacted the BJ8 Registry you would have got your answer in 2008.
31077 was probably built in late February or early March 1965 (like 31073, 2 - 3 March 1965 and 31081, 26 February - 2 March 1965. I think you are wondering if the car is really, as you entered, it a "1967". The British Motor Corporation did not build Healeys by "year". The model year is a USA concept. A car can be built in one year and not sold and registered until the next model year (or even a later one).

The engine serial number quoted (29K/RU/H16805) is not original to this car, but to a much later car with chassis number near 42183 (which has original engine 29K/RU/H16808)
