Randy Hicks,
I was scanning the archives and noted your question regarding the original
price of a 100M. My father paid $3370 new.
Quote from the Polk Healey History: "The Polk Austin Healey is a DHMCo
Warwick factory 100M "Le Mans" model BN2, chassis number BN2L73207, original
engine number 1B232077, Old English White over Black. The 100M was bought
new June 21, 1956 by my father Harlan Arnold Polk from the local British
Motor Corporation dealer, Jade Motors, 1729 East Holt Avenue, Pomona,
California. He paid $3370 for the car, $3,545.80 with tax and license,
California plate number HLA 270. He traded in a 1952 Hilman Minx drophead
coupe. He financed $2,200 at his credit union for 9% interest for 30 months.
The payments were $73.00 per month."
Best,
Hap Polk
