Andrew,

If you look at prices for things like model As and even MG T series, prices
have been stagnant the last 20-30 years or so, Big Healey's have leveled
off the last 5 or ten years, it happens.

When I look at most any pre-war car I find it interesting, but not anything
I would ever really want to own, I imagine a lot of younger folks, even car
people, feel the same way about "our" cars.  In fact I frequent some car
forums with a much younger demographic than here, pretty much anything
built when carburators were the norm is considered unsafe, finicky, and
slow by a pretty large portion of that group.

Nothing will make you feel old quite like somebody suggesting that
re-mapping a fuel injection system Isa piece of cake, while carbs are a
deep, dark mystery.
