So? What happened?

Are they all from the same collection or just part of the same tragedy?
Either way, we have noticed a lot of our British favorite hits from MG, Triumph and even Austin-Healey listed Copart’s South Florida salvage auction at in Punta Gorda, Florida.
All show the same reason for being there: water/flood.
Hurricane in FL and this is the result of insurance claims. Look for the "WL" on the outside of the cars for the water line to see how far under they were. Being submerged under two to three feet of salt water is normal for most of these insurance claims due to this weather event.
In reply to Noddaz :
Unless any of my coworkers have something to tell me, I think we were all able to regulate our impulse control–at least for this one time.
In reply to Colin Wood :
I did not buy any of those cars. I just stumbled upon the listings while looking for something on Copart.
Well the red 1969 "MGB" is really an MGC 4 speed not automatic. Fully submerged too. Good candidate for a complete re-shell if Heritage can.
I just looked through the whole lot. At least 2, probably more former owners. Only the white and brown TR6s and the big Healey have future prospects in my judgement, and the Healey's is probably temporary too. Red TD has a Japanese engine and was pretty rough before the nose went under...
