To go along with the other cool/cheap LBC thread Jim Gruber started.... how about this one?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Austin-Hea...7db6d01a1&item=171185078689&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

I realize that this is a nice car...but we all (ok some of us all) have nice cars.... I kinda think $45K is a little over the top for the market, isn't it?

I mean I think Jack's car is one of the nicest cars out here and this one doesn't come close to that...at least from my perspective...

Already covered in this thread:

https://www.britishcarforum.com/bcf/showthread.php?94040-What-will-be-the-real-price

45k is definitely over the top. Only the rarest on most pristine of the "big" Healeys command that kind of price.

I do think the market for the square Sprite and Midget will start trending upwards, as the BE market has started to do, but we're nowhere near $45,000. Most people who buy Spridgets aren't buying them for the investment quality....they want to have fun driving them. I know I didn't buy my '69 Sprite as an investment. I bought it to drive!

Ah, man...I think I lost about $40,000 when I sold our 69 Sprite! :smile: :smile:

This thing would have to have some sort of special provenance to get even HALF that. Maybe there is a bar of gold in the boot. :joyous:
