Sellers description:
1956 Austin-Healey 100M Le Mans Roadster
Chassis: BN2L233187
Authentic factory built 100M Le Mans roadster. Fewer than 150 are known to exist today.

British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate
Comprehensive, superb and correct restoration
100S Weslake competition aluminum cylinder head

The beautiful example presented here is an authentic factory built 100M Le Mans roadster, confirmed as such by the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, as well as the Worldwide Austin-Healey 100M Le Mans Register. A mere 640 100M Le Mans cars were produced by the factory, not to be confused with those converted by dealers with an available option kit containing many but not all of the significant upgrades. The Register states that fewer than 150 are known to exist today.

The original colors of Ivory Cream with black coves and interior complement the comprehensive, superb and correct restoration by renowned marque specialists BMC Classics of New Smyrna Beach, FL. Aside from the exceptional paint scheme and condition, passenger compartment invites close inspection, exhibiting a remarkable level of craftsmanship. As a bonus, the Healey is fitted with an authentic, fire breathing 100S Weslake competition aluminum cylinder head and exhaust manifold. (For the purist, the original components will be included with the sale, FOB.) The car comes with all the expected accessories including the spare tire and rim, owner handbook and tools, tonneau cover, and side curtains.

Undoubtedly, this genuine factory-built 100M Le Mans Austin-Healey will attract attention at vintage racing events for its superlative performance and then at the concours for its striking good looks. This is truly a Healey for the connoisseur.
