Up for auction is a 1956 Austin-Healey 100M / LeMans conversion. Not a factory M nor a dealer installed LeMans Conversion. Restoration was done in the late 70's or early 80's - I have owned the car since 1990. Although an older restoration I consider the car to be very presentable with a few exceptions. Car has all the M stuff. Note in the photos there is a paint problem on the left rear fender - an area of aproximately 3 x 5. I would think this would be a straight forward repair for a shop with computer color matching. During my ownership I have replaced all hubs and wire wheels, clutch, rebuilt master cylinder and fuel pump. The cylinder head has recently been reworked with new valves, guides, seals and hardened seats. 120 - 130 psi all cylinders. Evans waterless coolant installed - higher boiling point and never needs replacing. Pertronix electronic ignition is installed. The oil filter has a spin-on conversion. This involved no modification and the original parts go with the car. Air box and 100 M plaques are original not repropductions. Surface rust on the underside of the floorpans is all I can see. I see no corrosion on the chassis. The badges do not come with the car but shop manual, owner's manual, box of trophies and a box of miscellaneous parts are included. The mileage indicated is most probably since the restoration was completed. A little TLC will make this a very, very nice 100. Sale is due to another project. Please email any questions before bidding. A deposit of $500 by Paypal is due at end of auction. Balance of payment by wire transfer or certified check is due within 3 days. Inspection at my premisis is advised and welcomed.- Car is sold as is, where is with no warranties expressed or implied. Buyer is resposible for ALL shipping arrangements. Thanks for looking!
