Mr Blankenship decided in 1971 that he wanted sports car so he bought at new MGB. He liked it so much that is 1967 he looked for an Austin Healey Mark III to buy and could not find one for sale. Then in 1977 he bought a Triump TR-6 from the dealer. Then a few years after that purchase he found a 1967 MKIII to buy. He then had the MKIII restored frame up and it was finished in 2016. It looks like a new one. During this time he decided to increase his garage to 3500 square foot garage to keep all of his cars . Therefor they have all been garage kept since the beginning. In 2004 the Lexus SC 430 came out and his liked it very much so he purchased it from the dealer. All cars are one owner except the Austin and it has a number one restoration.
These cars have been babied for years. If you have been looking for a cream puff this is the auction.
