[Healeys] [OT] Collector Car 'Hobby'

[Keith Pennell]

Are the results of these "high dollar" auctions applicable to our meager (by comparison) cars?  I dont know the answer to that but I sort of doubt it since we are only opperating in the five figure segment and mostly on the lower end of that.  When the auctions include cars of our ilk as a few recently posted have referenced then it gets my attention.
Just wonderingKeith

I always thought "bespoke" was more in keeping with a visit to a Saville Row tailor, not an automobile.  But either way, each is out of my league.  Here's another take on the Monterey auctions: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidun.../#7aba6b1b692b  Looks like a hard rain is goin' to fall.

ListersIf nothing else, that article helped me understand a new word that has been creeping into the TV shows (car stuff) and print info lately, BESPOKE is the word.  One TV show used it over and over and by the rest of the dialog used, I had no idea what they were talking about. At first I thought they were referencing the 24 inch wheels they were using on the build. But they didn’t look anything like a set of spoked wire wheels from Dunlap.  I read the referenced article which talked about bespoked projectiles, scratched my head and said to my lovely wife, “What in the world does BESPOKE mean?”   With a slight smile on those lips, said, CUSTOM or Built for the buyer!!! Oh, is the word custom to old school or outdated for the “car guys and gals” today? Maybe for million dollar supercars. Not that I’m not interested in learning new words, I mean knowing what the advertised heart medicine is talking about, an ACE or an R, may have some bearing on my future existence!  😊 Hope everyone is having a great day.  I have to spend some time in the garage to work on my brother in laws BESPOKED 100-Six.  Fitting a quick change rear axle to the beast.
