I never liked mum's old car ... it was in very good condition (considering both families restored cars as a hobby) as it was always kept in a garage and babied ... but it really sucked, and mum knew it ... yet she always used to complain about it. When she got rid of it she drove a Mercedes 500SL ... it only had 2 seats so we rarely went out in it during the weekend ... that was what the Mazda 626 was for ...
The Austin was always trouble ... always broken down and never really working. It was bought by a collector of Morris & Austin cars (poor man collector back then) ... he had his eye on the Healey I remember and dad told him "eyes off".
1800's aren't worth much still ... you'd only ever get $3-4000 for a super schmick example ... considering the only sold for under $3k ... most owners (who've kept them) haven't lost a cent :P
