Hi Folks,

  I have been off the list for the past few months due to the extreme work load placed on me by the effects of hurricane Wilma.  But this weekend I was able to attend my first post hurricane car event, the RM classic car auction in Boca Raton, FL (Just 8 miles from my house).  Five Big Healeys crossed the block.  The results are as follows:

  '54 BN1 - V8 conversion. Healey blue with an incorrect black interior.  A little ratty but someone liked it enough to pony up $17,000 for it.
  '58 BN4 - Nice armature restoration.  Rare transition car with disk wheels and no overdrive.  Painted the love it or hate it Pacific Green with gray and green interior..  Probably a #3+ or better car that sold for $28,500.
  '59 BN4 - Healey Blue over white with a blue interior.  Cosmetically nice but the engine bay was dirty and not original.  Had a bulge in the shroud to clear the home made cold air box.  Not as nice as the car above but a more desirable color combo and with wire wheels and overdrive.  Probably a #3 or lower car that sold for $28,200.
  '59 BN7 - Old English White with a red interior.  Restored six years ago to a decent standard but not particularly well cared for since.  A #3 car at best that sold for $34,000.
  '67 BJ8 - Nice car.  Never restored but with newer paint and correct interior, both done to a very good standard.  No rust or sign on any repair.  A #2 or better car that was bid to $40,000  and went unsold. The seller wanted at least $55,000 for it and in my  view it was probably worth it given what the other cars sold for.

  So it looks like the market for Healeys is still strong and the roadsters are finally getting their due, even the lowly BN4 : )  And at $34k I may have to consider parting with my BN7.  Then again I can't imagine what I could get for that amount that would ever make me forget about the Healey - never mind.
