We are not his market. His buyers are not Healey People per se, but rather

Steve's post nails it.
The fact that someone steps forward and pays a sum unrelated to that which
these cars normally trade for proves only that there is always someone willing
to overpay (and let's not forget that they also paid an 8% "Buyer's Premium on
top of the already-inflated price).
