Never thought about selling my Austin-Healeys when I am in a certain age.=
=20
Why shall I do that. I do not need the money. They are part of my life. I=
=20
have my Sprite and the 100 for (nearly) 40 years, the 3000 for 30 years now=
=20
and as long as I live I want to have them with me. I do not care what=C2=B4=
s=20
after my death. Not my problem. I am too selfish to think about selling=20
them one time.
I have a friend whose age is 84 and he owns about 10 classic cars and still=
=20
works on them and just started a new restoration. The cars keep him young=
=20
and agile. He still has so many ideas each day. With his cars he gets=20
younger each day and when he is not feeling well, he gives all to be better=
=20
soon.
Its not all about driving the cars. Its keeping them in good shape.
There is no rule cars have to be driven. They can give so much, even just=
=20
staying with them in the garage.

Subject: [Healeys] End of an era
All things come to an end and our ownership of our BN1 and BN2 has ended.=
=20
The red 1955 BN2 was my first car that I bought for $275 in 1965.
I scrounged up the funds delivering newspapers. That car followed us to=20
Hawaii then back to PA and on to South Carolina. The modified BN1 I bought=
=20
and built while living in Hawaii . Sold it to a guy in California only to=
=20
buy it back years later. Probably have had 50 Healeys, big and little ones=
=20
over the years. Maybe there is another one waiting out there for us but in=
=20
a few days when the transport arrives to take Red and Yellow to their new=
=20
homes things will be different. The garage will only hold the daily driver,=
=20
tools that will not be used for vehicle maintenance anymore and=20
miscellaneous other things that will need to be cleaned out hopefully=20
before what ever comes next. Kimberley jokes with me and others that she=20
gets to =E2=80=9Cgo=E2=80=9D first so that she does not have to clean up th=
e =E2=80=9Cstuff=E2=80=9D! I=20
have known probably 40 or more other Healey owners that have previously=20
visited the same chain of events and I always thought it would somehow be=
=20
different but it=E2=80=99s not. These little British beasts really get unde=

skin but they also still bring a smile to your face . All the best to you=

and yours. Perry and Kimberley Sent from my iPhone=20
