Is that a requirement for reviewing a Healey?

The focus of the articlebeing careful when buying a classicmeans that the
"negatives" ARE the focus.

What good would the article be for someone wanting to buy a classic car and
have to listen to Carrini hand-hold an insecure Healey owner?

The article is not about "Healeys" it's about being careful of problems that
classic cars can have like exhaust leaks, poor collision repair, rust issues,
tuning idiosyncrasies, oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil, etc.

Compared to many other classics, Healeys are hard to drive, they are low to
the ground, they do sputter and cough, they do stink of oil, etc. The complex
chassis is a known rust collector, and the exhaust system is prone to damage
and the resultant leaks. These are not surprises to people who know Healeys.
