Market commentary
While all the attention has been lavished on 3000 Mk III Big Healeys, collectors' have shown scant appreciation for the earlier 4-cylinder Healeys. It's a shame, because these cars are a completely different driving experience, a real sports car instead of a boulevardier. Yes, they leak and they're cold in the spring and fall and hot in the summer, and their little four runs out of revs very early, but it pulls like a tractor and handles like, well, a sports car. This is a sound example in great driving condition, exactly what a 4-cylinder Healey should be, and it brought a reasonable price.
