[Healeys] Few Healeys at Bonhams comming up

[Chris Dimmock]

Thanks for sharing Patrick.
Looks like Healey Duncan's are now finally safe...
Those prices will help keep the Riley powered "pre Austin" Healeys intact, and
away from Riley owners who potentially view them as mechanical component donor
cars! (like many Healey owners have historically viewed Big Austin/Wolseley
sedans).
It's all about economics. When the price is too low, wrecking out is often the
single most cost effective option.
Sincerely.
Chris
