[Healeys] "100-M" for sale

[gardner5 at comcast.net]

Sarcasm duly noted. 


I can just imagine being retired and sitting in a rocking chair out on the porch telling my grand kids about how I used to own a Honda Accord and the driving pleasure, stories, and experiences it provided. 


What makes these cars valuable is that there is a fixed number and there are no more. The more rare, the more valuable. Hence the value gap between a straight forward BN2 and a factory 100M. These are old cars and they are-what-they-are, which is a whole lot of fun with a potential financial upside. Can't remember the last time I jumped in my Microsoft stock and enjoyed a Sunday afternoon in the sun. Anyways to each his own.

Also, it's pretty dang silly to spend $35K on a (barely) decent BJ8 when you can get a new, nicely-appointed Honda Accord--with enough left over for a few pairs of Birkenstocks and a couple fanny packs--for that.

I don't doubt they have sold for that, particularly, at the overhyped RM 
auctions. I just don't see how they are worth that when they are just BN2 
's with a few bolt on extras. 


If I had 175K to spend on a car it wouldn't be a 100M
