TR6 vs Healey 3000 prices - why the disparity?
Discussion
I've been idly looking at prices recently of a few gold old British bruisers, as we will soon be getting some free space int he garage for about 6 months and it might be nice to have one over the summer.
2 cars I've always fancied are a a Triumph TR6 and an Austin Healey 3000. I haven't been keeping abreast of classic car prices much recently, but I was rather surprised to search online and see that a good TR6 is about £15k whereas a good Big Healey is pushing 70!
Now, here we have two 6-cylinder, RWD 2-seat sports/touring convertibles of exceptional pedigree, and both of similar age. Both have drivetrains of exceedingly humble origins and look to have a similar amount of comfort/luxury inside. Both were produced in decent numbers, too.
So, why the massive gap? Is it purely down to the rallying fame of Healeys in late production life?
