    Default Local Auction

    If I had the time, a source for parts, and didn't want the dependability of a Miata...

    I wonder what it will end up going for?

    Not to worry, it's a replicar. The ad says it's a Saxon, not an Austin-Healey. Which means it's worth less and it's most likely less reliable to boot!

    How is it possible to be less reliable than a British roadster and still qualify to be called a car?

    Easy. Have some unknown person cobble together something that resembles a car. Then try to pass it off at an auction where there can't be any retribution for poor design, workmanship, parts, etc. A 10' pole wouldn't be anywhere near long enough.

    Plus the fact that someone spent a lot of time working on this jalopy to get it looking like it does, only to give up and give it to Texans Can Academy for donation.
