G'day
I bet that most of you would think I have been into too much of the red
stuff.
However I will predict that over the next 5 years cars like the
Nash-Healey will surpass the ubiquitous E-type in desirability and
price. Just look at the way prices are going of late of cars with good
provenance.
If you were to look at the history of post WW2 American sports cars what
was the very first car designed specifically for the US market. No it
wasn't the Corvette as the Nash-Healey preceded it by a few years. Pick
up any fair dinkum publication on the Corvette and you will see that two
other cars rate a mention, the Nash-Healey and Jaguar's XK120.
The Nash-Healey because it was the very first post-war US sports car and
the XK120 because the Corvette chassis is similar.
The Nash-Healey may not have the performance of later sports cars but if
I had a few $$$ tucked away for automotive investments I would certainly
add one to my collection, especially the later coupes. I would be even
happier if I had one of the Le Mans cars.

Tom / Scott -
Ha ha... it never ceases to amaze me - I figure about 95% of the classic
cars on ebay are way overpriced. Once you can work your way through
man's greed will you see the remaining 5% that are good value!
For 75K you can get a cherry 3.8 E-type....
Cheers,
