<div dir="ltr">I think it's about right, although I feel like it should be right. I agree with Jean, that Healey prices seem to be softening and the BJ8s are, outside of the Ms and Ss, still leading the pack. Compare this one at Sotheby's already bid to $75k with two days left for an older restoration:

<p class="MsoNormal">Gary,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe that since the car sold, its reserve was met, so both the buyer and the seller would be satisfied with the results.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a model that about 5 years ago would have sold for very close to $100,000.00 US for a car in this condition. I believe that the market has softened overall, in the last few years, for Austin-Healeys as a whole, that combined with
a reluctance by American buyers to purchase cars from Canada, due to various reasons, shipping across borders, the paperwork involved etc. May have kept this car from achieving a higher sale price.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While there were only 355 of these cars made, I also think their rarity is overblown in my opinion, they are basically the same as any 2 seater Austin-Healey with a 6 cylinder engine, with one extra carburettor.
