      Austin Healeys have rocketed in price recently, especially the Healey 3000, which IMHO is better looking than the generally swooned over E-Type Jag.

        Yes and yes one does in fact have chromed wire wheels. Can't beat a car that was developed to race at LeMans in '64 and '65

            You can pickup a Vauxhall Calibra V6 for peanuts.

            You might laugh but look at the price of a Cavalier.

                    It's the run of the mill stuff that becomes super rare. They made over 350,000 E series Vauxhalls between 1951-1957. There are less than 50 left (mainly rusted away).

                    (I learnt to drive in a '56 E series Velox)
