[Healeys] RM Auction Monterey - 3 Healeys for sale

[Michael MacLean]

     Yes it does, and if you were restoring Healeys for a living would you
want the concours Healey enthusiast type person pay $80,000 for the car or the
rich drunk (and yes, they are pretty drunk at these venues) know-nothing type
pay $180,000 for your car?  Bottom line, another Healey on the road.  By the
way, the local Healey club here in SoCal does not drive a concours car among
the lot.  Between reliability upgrades and modern convenience type add-ons,
you won't find a completely original car among them.  Even the 100M we are
talking about actually had vents cut out of the front fenders and the original
owner used triangular pieces of Buick grill from a 50's Buick in those holes. 
Not exactly concours, but what original owner of a Healey back in the day did
not "customize" his car not long after purchase?  So what the guy that pays
too much for the car.  It's another Healey owner that did not exist before the
auction.  I'm for expanding
 the hobby any way that works.

I think it proves the point that the only people that are paying this sort of
money for 100Ms are people that don't know anything about Healeys.
