I got to work on one a whole lot. Dad had the AH 100-4 and raced it
in gymkhanas and autocrosses when I was a wee lad. I even learned
how to tune spoke wheels before I was 10. A restored '54 is now worth
over $150k. thud


I remember that those were really pretty, but the mechanicals were fairly
rudimentary, particularly in today's terms. My un-restored '51 spine needs
more modern engineering.


Like a nice little fuel-injected Ford 302 V-8? Cool.


The search for a Healey was set aside, when in late '72 I met a dark-eyed
brunette, who drove an old VW bug. She turned out to be a much better
investment. ;-)


I sure question her taste. (No, I meant on the bug.) bseg
