[Healeys] B-J auction Kurt Tanner BN2 just sold for $40k

"Prices have dropped like stones. I just watched a 100M at RM go for $45k"


 I wouldn't jump to this conclusion right now. So far the Healeys haven't done
well but has anyone seen these cars in person? Typically, the first days of
these auctions have the "not so nice cars". I looked at the cars last year at
BJ and was suprised at a lot of things I saw, bad panel fit, rock chips, poor
or wrong fitting chrome pieces, etc. I have heard that approx 30% of the cars
sold at BJ are bought by the original owners because they didn't get to the
dollar level they wanted.

 With that said, the big guns are coming out today. Kurt Tanner's shoddy work
shop has 2 cars and a nice BJ8 from John Wilson of Healey Lane in Oregon. Sat
has a BJ8 from Healey Lane in Riverside and a 65 BJ8 from a restorer.

  So if the tents are still standing after the fierce winds last night, I
think you will see at least one of the cars today reach 6 figures.
