I think Alex is the dealer who sells the most Healey=E2=80=99s in USA.
Most of the cars are in the very low price range like 15-25.000 USD, you =
have to understand at that price you don=E2=80=99t get much. I track =
some of the cars and many end up in Europe and are sold on from dealers =
there.
He does not give much information on the cars, actually you might call =
the description very poor, he does not give the VIN number in the =
adverts, but you can get it from them on mail. On the other hand he =
takes lots of pictures in much better quality that other sellers, so I =
believe he does not hide things. My advice is If you want to do business =
with him, you have to inspect yourself, but on the other hand with a =
Healey you always need to do that.
=20
I live in Europe, and I was in the market for a Healey in 2009-2010 and =
looked at cars in USA. I didn=E2=80=99t want to go there and look, since =
I didn=E2=80=99t know what to look at, my knowledge of old cars is very =
limited and I don=E2=80=99t know what to look for on a Healey.
I hired an inspector to look at a specific car. It was almost waste of =
money, since he mostly took pictures of the car and filled in a simple =
report. I was advised not to buy a car from that alone, and I =
didn=E2=80=99t buy it because the seller did not explain much about the =
car.
=20
I choose to wait until a local dealer in Denmark had a car. Before that =
I had talked to people on which dealers that were honest.
I went there and looked at it, I noted the VIN and searched for it.
I found it on the internet as being sold previously by a dealer in San =
Francisco, who had written a lot about it=C2=B4s history. I was then =
convinced it was a good solid car and bought it.
It was sold in USA in 2010 for 38.000 USD. That is a middle range price =
and you have to expect some problems with the car. Mechanics are good, =
strong rebuilt engine, body ok, but you can see rust repairs in the rear =
inner fenders done with rivets. Bad dogleg are behind left front door. =
Repainted far from perfect. Chrome good. So decide what errors you can =
accept, you won=E2=80=99t find a perfect car at 40-50.000 USD.
=20
Well as I said, I bought it and haven=E2=80=99t had any real problems so =
far. Even travelled to England, on to Holland and back to Denmark on a =
holiday, driving for 13 hours that day with 6 hours on the German =
Autobahn, from Holland to Denmark the last day.

As far as Beverly Hills CC, I would stay away from them. They fo not =
have a great reputation on the Healey list. Is the car actually in LA? =
They broker cars from elsewhere in the country. I would check out =
national and State Hesley clubs for cars for sale=20
Www.healey6.com is great resource for info and links to many club =
websites. There are known problem areas on these cars and you must have =
someone familiar with them to look the car over. They are fun to drive =
and work on and most parts are easily obtained. This list is still a =
great resource, but you might also want to check out the Austin healey =
owners group on facebook.
Happy hunting.
