[Healeys] eBay-Sale Documents re Rolls Royce Healey

[Quinn, Patrick]

G'day

They were as cheap as chips in the early 1970s. I knocked back a 100S
for the equivalent of Aus$2000 at the time. I bought the BN3 in 1974 for
way less than that. And just in one day of driving around London and
environs I saw 2 genuine ex Works Rally 3000s parked in suburban
streets.

Well I hope this is legitimate.   Certainly the 2,000 quid price tag
probably is.

Goes to show all the super shiny, perfect LBCs in The Bank Job was
completely unrealistic - I visited London in the early 70's and I can
tell
you cars were not worth that much, and they were all rather dirty and
run
down at the time!
