Short Survey About Big Healey Ownership:
Hi Healey folks. I'm doing a Big Healey buyers guide for the next issue of
British Motoring Magazine (Moss published). I would like to ask a few
questions about Healey ownership:
1. Why did you pick a Healey over other cars that were available when you
bought yours?
2. What type of person should absolutely NOT consider a Healey and why?
3. We know that those $80,000 auction cars are all bone stock and matching
numbers ... but, how important is total originality in a car that is a
weekend diversion machine rather than a coddled concours contender. I'm
not talking about a fender-flaired, Ford-powered Cobra clone but non-stock
wheels, colours and engine mods - like the way we built 'em back in the
1960s...............
4. What is the best way to find and buy a big Healey? How did you find
yours and how would you do it if you were to buy another today.
5. (optional) Why would one consider buying a four cylinder 100 instead
of the later sixes if you were buying one today? What is the appeal beyond
a preference for the early front end styling.
Thanks for anything that you send.
