Gary,
I believe that since the car sold, its reserve was met, so both the buyer a=
nd the seller would be satisfied with the results.
This is a model that about 5 years ago would have sold for very close to $1=
00,000.00 US for a car in this condition. I believe that the market has sof=
tened overall, in the last few years, for Austin-Healeys as a whole, that c=
ombined with a reluctance by American buyers to purchase cars from Canada, =
due to various reasons, shipping across borders, the paperwork involved etc=
. May have kept this car from achieving a higher sale price.
While there were only 355 of these cars made, I also think their rarity is =
overblown in my opinion, they are basically the same as any 2 seater Austin=
-Healey with a 6 cylinder engine, with one extra carburettor.

What does the group think --- Fair price in today's market, overvalued or u=
ndervalued?

What would you have expected to pay for a similar car?

G.
