A little bit bored at work today and I was wondering how old Austin Healey owners are. Assuming there is an interest from people on the board I'd like to take a sampling and see what we get. Everbody respond back with your age and I will enter all the values in Excel and see what we get!

61; 1964 BJ8. I wanted to buy a Healey when I was in college (63-67), but did lots of skiing and didn't think hauling skis on a Healey made much sense so I bought a 65 Chev Impala SS instead. Finally got the Healey about 3 years ago and its been a blast. First classic car, though, was a 54 MGTF that I had about 25 years ago and a 57 T-Bird purchased in 1987 and driven until a year ago. Both of those were sold since the garage isn't large enough.

43, I went in halfs with my father when I was 12 to purchase a used 1957 BN4, he always wanted one in colledge. Didn't think we would make it home but somehow it got there and have held on to ever since. Have owned 2 55' 100/4's, a 59' 3000 Mk1 and a 62 Mini Cooper S.
