[Healeys] "100-M" for sale

[gardner5 at comcast.net]

Agree that much is not correct and that's what can be seen in only a handful of general pics. Makes you question everything else. Definitely would walk away from this one, or maybe even run. Disagree with the the comment that a properly restored factory M would be $135K, a decent older restoration sold at RM for $162K in Jan. 2012, and another private sale of a nicer factory M just this month is reported at approximately $175K.

Gary, 

Wow, where to start. 

I notice they say nothing about a complete restoration since there probably 
wasn't one done . Other than the flashy finned valve cover, missing its 
original knurled knobs and oil filler cap, the rest of the engine looks 
rather tatty. The interior is an abortion, carpet instead of Armacord, 
incorrect door panels, and those seats are tacky. Incorrect chrome 
headlight rims red painted brake drums and I'm sure the list goes on. It 
needs a complete and proper restoration to justify that price. 

Just my humble opinion. 

Curt
