A year or two ago, I had a chance to buy a set of those cases and from
photo's they were too ugly for me.

According to "Accessories for your Sports Car" by Larry Reid, pub.1958 as
part of the Modern Sports Car Series, the same series that gave us the
Healey/Wisdom book, fitted suitcases for 100/6 were available from the
Warren Leather Goods Co.,Worcester 1, MA.
"The set for the Austin Healey 100-6 has a case 24"x7"x7" and one
29"x12.5"x5". A formed plastic cap is supplied to fit over the hub of the
spare wheel to protect the cases.
All cases are made from 5/16" basswood shooks with 1/8" plywood panels on
top and bottom. Covering is plastic-coated fabric, ginger color. Lining is
tan twill. Leather corners and handles. Two brass locks with keys. $30. per
set."
Best, JK
