I agree with David on this. I sold a very nice but not concours Bugeye 
last year for just under 9,000. (Brit car mag cover 4/99)
And it had a repaint and new interior since the magazine shot.
The 12 and 15k asking price is not what they are selling for in the real 
world. 10k at best and that's in tip top shape.
And a 1 owner well maintained 45 year old Sprite may be rust free but it 
certainly is not "concours". It can be MADE concours more easily than 
the $500 rust bucket on Ebay.
B-J auction also sold a Healey for 90 grand! Does that make my Healey 
worth 1/2 that?
I wish :)
