Pourquoi viens-tu si tard ?

Clint Eastwood's The Mule had a red BJ8 parked in a couple shots at the cartel's mansion. IMCDb has a night shot of it. Earlier it was in a better day shot.

A friend of mine sent me a photo many years ago of a red Healey when he was working on The Book of Eli in New Mexico. Wonder if it was the same car?
 
Could have been. I don't remember seeing a Healey in the 'Book of Eli.' It was all in sepia tones anyway.

A couple of weeks ago caught this on an episode of 'Mega Machines;' it was about a superfast trimaran ferry unloading after crossing the Mediterranean (this is how you know you're a real Healey nut; was half-asleep on the couch and hardly watching):

Sorry Bob, didn't mean to imply the Healey was in the film. It was parked nearby the main town street set. Don't rewatch the movie looking for it. :eek:

NP. 'Eli' was a 'Mad Max-style' apocalypse--kinda like now ;)--film so a Healey would have been a scene-stealer.
 
Lots of Healey in this one, unfortunately no English version online. I do question the efficacy of changing one number on the license plate to fool the police when you're driving a 40 year-old stolen car around:

Watched it in English last night from Amazon Prime. Not a bad movie.
 
I was watching a video of a very rare Honda NR750 this morning. There is a Healey in there twice. First at 6:00, then again at 12:40.
Woops, and again at 7:20.
