[Healeys] Healey Related - Who is Wayne Carrini

[Graeme Molony]

Thanks Bob and to all the others who responded to my question about Wayne 
Carini

While I am no expert on a large variety of classic cars from what I have 
observed of the show (Chasing classic Cars)
he does appear to have a wealth of knowledge about a large range of vehicles 
and there various idiosyncrasies

We also get a number of the other shows you have mentioned down under 
including the British show ' Wheeler Dealers'
which I agree with you is quite informative and interesting. They must have 
a lot of shows from the past as they are
running the show fairly frequently at the moment

I particularly enjoyed a show in the past week when they repaired a non 
running Lamborghini Jalpa I think it was that the partner of
Edd China had sourced in Poland of all places. Edd appeared to do a good job 
on it particularly as he claimed he had never worked on a
Lamborghini previously.
I am always amazed at how cheap they sell their cars when finished compared 
to what you would pay for a similar car in Aust.

Cheers

Graeme M

'Chasing Classic Cars' is hosted by Wayne Carini.  This show is one of the 
first, if not the first, of about a million
similar shows now on cable, including 'Fast and Loud' and 'The Car 
Chasers'--which usually features quickie resto-mods
of older muscle cars--and another one very similar to 'Chasing' that I 
haven't seen for a while.  There is one based in
Toronto called 'Classic Car Rescue,' one in Miami and one based in Arizona, 
I think, in a junkyard. The best show, IMO,
is 'Wheeler Dealers,' which stars a couple of Brits, one named Edd China who 
does repairs on cars bought by his partner
and who is actually very informative in the mechanical sense.  Most of the 
others are non-'reality' shows which feature
the outsized personalities of the 'stars' more than the cars.  'Dealers' may 
pre-date the others, as I've seen shows
dated as early as 2010.  These shows--new ones come on all the time--have 
flourished along with recent popularity of car
auctions; Barret Jackson was the first to 'hit it big' I think.  It seems 
finding and 'flipping'--I hate that term--cars
is now big business.

Anyway, Carini did indeed find a very low mileage factory 100M (red/black). 
AFAIK, there have been no follow-up shows
and he hasn't sold the car.  I suspect it will be in a later episode; a new 
season has either just started or will be
starting soon. Carini is a legitimate dealer/broker who has been in the 
business for a long time; his father apparently
was a mechanic/restorer himself.

Cheers,
Bob
