FWIW, Mecum also runs antique tractor auctions. I catch them on TV
occasionally; small but enthusiastic crowd.

<div>Thanks so much for chiming in on this car. With the
deadline for my "Auction Report" column in Healey Marque
looming over my head, this was to be the lede car. The extra
info you provided will add to the story. The buyer of the car
just posted that the car would not start during the auction
and its brakes were bad. It was also sold on Thursday, not an
ideal slot to get the most return. He bought the car for $33k
and resold it again before leaving the auction.</div>

<div>As far as Mecum goes, they've been expanding their Healey
offerings as of late and although formerly a muscle car and
street rod auctioneer, they managed to sell a non-factory
metallic golden beige 66 BJ8 at Kissimmee in January for
$104,000 (check out the Auction Report in the April issue of
the Marque)</div>
