It's just my opinion but I think people are paying those prices because
they don't know what they are doing. How many real Healey enthusiasts would
pay 175K for a 100M. None in my opinion. There is nothing special about the
cars, yes there are only 600 or so but as I said , there are only 350 BN7
Tri-Carbs. This market has been hyped up by various American auction houses
and dealers. Now if you own a 100M, good for you, I like those cars, but if
I had one I'd sell it for 175K. Reminds me a bit of the mining industry. if
ever we discovered a gold deposit we would sell it, because people would
pay way over the odds for it and we could better invest the funds elsewhere.
