Would be a neat car to own but at an estimated 70,000 - 100,000 British pounds... plus 17.5 % tax.
 
For what is perhaps the most famous of all the works Healeys this estimate seems a little on the low side. In effect this car is rarer than the 100S so I would have thought it should make more money. Given the choice between what is effectively a one off and the relatively common /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif100S my money would go on URX...

Just done a little research and the last works Healey I could find details on (couldn't make out the reg so I'm not sure which car but it looked like a URX something) that has been auctioned fetched 171,000 euros im May 2002 which equates to 114,000 GBP or 210,000 USD at todays exchange rate. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/england.gif
 
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Seems it was knocked down for 175,500 GBP - I thought it was undevalued a little!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/england.gif
