I have just returned from a short road test in my recently recommissioned BJ8 after it had been off the road for 10 years.
It passed its MOT this morning after a few late nights getting it to that stage.
I have a big smile on my face as I had never driven a Healey before and the sound was superb.
It is still a bit rough around the edges with much work to be done but a few things I noticed on my first test drive that users may be able to help with -
when I brake from speed it seems to introduce a wobble at the back end. Maybe the rear brakes are uneven?
The hood when lowered will not go down all the way. It seems to go down to a certain level and then you have to push hard to overcome the spring pressure to get it to the fully lowered position, but when you let go, it pops up again?
