Jim,
I agree completely with what you are saying.
My other concern is that, since there appears to be a limited number of
"next generation" individuals that seem interested in Healeys, the market
value of our cars may drop drastically from what may be a value that is at
it's peak. The other possibility is that by the time I am ready to sell my
Healey, or I am dead, the car will be worth more than someone like me would
ever be able to afford.
Actually, right now, the cars are worth more than I can afford.
Ron

I probable should have been more clear, but in the spirit of
brevity, I probably wasn't clear.
I know many car guys who are in an age group higher than mine. I
enjoy their company and I think that for the most part car guys are
"ageless". If you talked to them over the phone without meeting them in
person, you would have a hard time telling their age. I find that the
group of guys in their 60's have a vast amount of knowledge and experience
which is invaluable to people of all ages. I love you old farts:)
My concern is that there isn't a *large* generation of Healey owners
coming behind the current crop and I think that's a shame.
I think that there is (as evidenced by the replies so far) a group
of young(er) owners out there, but the number needs to be larger to sustain
these cars and their history. A club or part of a club dedicated to
nurturing this group would be helpful to everyone who loves the marque IMO.
I meant no disrespect to anyone.
Jim
