If you'll notice, some of the asking prices for many cars have lately been very
high. The black Tiger from a few days ago purporedly sold for $96,000, nice but
run of the mill fifties American sedans asking $50,000 plus. I think, in the
case of the dealer selling the Harrington A, someone is trying to recoup their
restoration cost. It begs the advice that classic car dealers tell people.
Don't buy a car and restore it, hoping to get your investment back. Buy the
most complete car you can afford, and let a previous owner lose money on a
restoration.

That is crazy money for a Harrington.
If anyone is tempted, I'll find you one in the UK for $30,000.
