Hi David and All, the word "Value" means different things to different
people. Since I purchased my BT7 Mk2 new in May, 1963 and still drive
it to this day, I don't measure its "Value" to me in dollars or Concours
Gold. Its "Monetary Value" is somewhat small for resale purposes but
its "Pride of Ownership Value" is what I derive from driving a rare and
beautiful British roadster which I never intend to sell anyway. It all
depends on how you perceive your Healey's role in your life.
Respectfully,
Jack

Another thing to remember is the value when you are finished. If you
looked
at any of the cars that are going for the high prices at the auctions
NONE
of them would have o Jule style frame.
This issue came up several years ago at a Healey concourse. And it was
decided that a car with the Jule frame could not recieve a gold level
award.
So with that in mind I would recommend strongly staying with a frame
that is
as close to original as possible. We have sold several of the Kilmartin
frames and if you put it alongside an original you can not tell the
differece.
