All good news to me, not that I'm going to be selling my car any time soon,
but when and if the time comes, it's nice to see the prices climbing. The
latest Hagerty price guide has a '53 BN1 in number 1 condition going to
$86,500 US, a '55 BN2 #1 going for $92,800 and a 56 BN2 #1 for $100,000. The
M's going for quite a bit more. Of course mine is almost as rare as yours
Patrick in that the build card from the factory lists my car as a BM1. So
I've probably got the only BM1 in existence. Truly a rare care. I carry a copy
of the build card with me in my car to prove how rare my car is. I also
have receipts on my car going back to the bill of sale as well as many more,
including its first oil change. Which was all of $5.41, including oil!
But I think I'll just keep driving mine for a while, it's only got a
little over 57,000 miles on it and she's loves to run. I'll be taking her
out for a special drive when she turns sixty this month on October 29th!
Thanks for the information.

G'day
As a case in point about the four-cylinder cars I received the Bonhams
online catalogue this morning for their auction in Brussels on 10 October.
There are four big Healeys listed - a BJ7, two BJ8s and BN1.
The BJ7 is listed to go for 21K to 29K UK Pounds, one BJ8 between 38K to
54K
Pounds, the other BJ8 is 50K to 67K Pounds. The BN1 which is an early car,
but nothing really special except that like all 100s it's Mille Miglia
eligible is between 71K to 88K Pounds. Now go and work that out in your
currency and tell me that the prices of four-cylinder cars are not heading
upwards.
