Car to be auction 3/10

Auction description:
1955 Austin-Healey 100M Roadster
Chassis No.
BN2L228392
Estimate: $125,000-$150,000 US
To be auctioned on
Saturday, March 13, 2010

As confirmed by its corresponding British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this factory-built, left-hand drive Austin-Healey 100M was completed on September 9, 1955, just four days after production of the model commenced. It was immediately shipped to the USA, and as a BN2 model, it was equipped with a four-speed gearbox and overdrive. Other original features included a heater, a laminated windscreen and the louvered bonnet characteristic of a factory-built 100M.

Today, it benefits from a fresh nut and bolt restoration completed over a three-year period by Fred’s Healey, a highly regarded marque specialist located in Edgewater, Florida. During the painstaking process, every part was restored and the paintwork was hand-rubbed to perfection. As offered today, this rare and iconic car is one of just 640 factory-built examples and comes complete with restoration photos, the original owner’s manual and a set of tools.
Addendum
Please note this car is titled as a 1956.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
