Default Austin-Healy or Triumph I think

It has been a while since I saw it. My pop is in love with the Healy 3000K MKIIIs. They are nice, and cost around $15 to $25K to get

the guy that is stealing the sign, when Chevy drives off the road, who says "put it back? No way, this sign's mint, not one bullett hole (or something like that...)" I played football with him in highschool...

Default depends on the condition ...

ranging from 10000 (quite a lot of work left) up to 27000 (pristine) ...
I have not restored a MG TF but I have restored a MGA ... those cars are pretty easy to work on and parts can be found in Europe (Mainly UK) ... not cheap though ... Engines are normally on the small size ...

You might want to consider an Austin Healey MK3 ... those look very nice also and are really fun to drive (3 liter engine) ... of all the cars I helped restore that is probably one I enjoyed the most ...
