[Healeys] The 100s Ugly Stepfather

[Alan Seigrist]

Greg -

Well, she gets pretty good mileage, is built like a (Sherman) tank and has
a ridiculous amount of chrome, so she has her moments.  I have the coupe,
which is a hog's hair more attractive.  Interestingly, when new... the coupe
sold for about 20% MORE than the convertible model, so that shows you how
people valued convertibles in the early 1950s.

I saw this Atlantic on eBay and am impressed with the car, definitely one of
the most original examples I've ever seen.  If I was to purchase one, this
is the one to get.  Probably only 10 left in LHD.

FYI, I am content driving the Jag Mk IX these days, it's prettier, faster,
bigger, and about 2x thirstier :(

Can't wait to do my second restoration of the BJ8 and get back to driving
that one daily!

Thanks for the great link!!

Alan
