Good point, Bob.  So many of the things in the car hobby that are supposed to 
add value to a car don't make a lot of sense.  What makes a car with "matching 
numbers" more valuable than one with a replaced engine built to the same 
specification?  Cars at the beginning or end of production, why are they more 
valuable?  Cars owned by celebrities, who cares what famous butt sat in the 
driver's seat?  And of course, no offense, why is a factory 100M so much more 
valuable than one fitted with a LeMans kit (can it be the hi-comp pistons?)  As 
Steve (and the greatest football coach of all time) say, it is what it is.

Am I the only one that thinks this car being 'the last of ... whatever' adds no 
particular cachet?   I'd rather have a well-preserved, low-mileage 
survivor--with rough but original paint--or a top-of-the-line concours resto, 
in the middle of the production pack.  But, my cars are for driving, not 
bragging rights (well, except for the 'M'). Bob--------------------------------

Yes, that much would be correct.   However, after the statement quoted below, I 
received this from another source at the auction 
house:--------------------------Steve , Good Afternoon. My name is 
&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;---------- and I do quite a lot of work for 
Silverstone Auctions preparing catalogue entries and helping to sort out the 
inevitable mistakes that occur when a dozen or so people are under pressure to 
close a catalogue with 200 cars.I am 67 and have owned a number of big Healeys 
including an early 100/4 with a competition history,(which I bought in 1966), 
so as a 'Marque' enthusiast, I am as keen as you to ensure that what we commit 
to paper is accurate. I have read ------------ response to you and it's 
patently completely inaccurate, however, he does not claim to know what he is 
talking about, and is too young to remember the ins and outs of the Donald 
Healey Motor Company. In fairness, having had a quick look at our vendor's 
'Entry Form' there are a number of claims on there which Richard took at face 
value but which now may be incorrect.The CCA catalogue has now been printed so 
it's too late to change that, but we can change the Website and issue a 
'Saleroom Notice' prior to the auction.I propose that I have a good look at the 
information provided to us by the vendor and form some opinions. I will share 
these with you and see what you think. It's patently obvious that you have 
considerable knowledge of the subject and, I guess, we will be guided by you, 
but as I said, it appears the vendor is under the impression that what he has 
told us is correct and the team were excited to be handling a car with such 
provenance.If it appears that the car, although a stunning example, is not what 
he claimed, then we may have to revise the 'monetary value', which may not go 
down too well, but, given your information, we are obliged to correct any 
statements we have made and we are keen to ensure a happy purchaser on the 
day.I will deal with this from now on and if you can give me 24 hours, I will 
get back to you with as much information as I can find at this end. Thank you 
for your interest in this matter. ---------------------------------Steve

been updated, but the sellers are sticking to their assertion that this was the 
last one off the line: ?         We don't want to 'labour the point' but this 
is the LAST big Healey off the line - ever!!!
NB: We are aware of the three cars assembled after Chassis 43025. When the 
production line was stopped, a further two cars
