Somehow, I  just can't imagine a Facebook site attracting many 
genuinely/seriously  interested  younger 
'new Healey enthusiasts.'   For starters, the high cost of  getting
into a 
large Healey will be cost 
prohibitive--or require a very high level of commitment--for many younger  
people who otherwise 
might be interested in an "old car."   That being the case, a  high
level of 
enthusiasm will have to be created in 
them, in order for them to become truly committed.   Such a  high level of 
enthusiasm, I think,  will 
only come after these folks actually see and experience the cars, in  person. 
   
 
Therefore, perhaps the best use of a Facebook site could be to publicize  
local Healey events to
those who would never otherwise hear about them, so as to entice these  
prospective 'new Healey 
enthusiasts' to come out, and get excited, and get involved.
