I only got as far as the 1st photo & see that the chrome "spear" on the left
side of the car is either on backwards or belongs on the other side. I think
that is unforgiveable considering the claims & the price!

Can the experts on the list critique this car? For what he wants for it, it
should be absolutely perfect. He states that it is a concours example, but
even to my untrained eye in 100Ms, I know that none came with chrome wire
wheels, and probably radial tires were also not available.

1956 Austin-Healey 100M
A genuine factory built "LeMans" confirmed by the 100M Registry. Delivered new
to the USA and raced in period SCCA events. Beautifully restored and ready for
events worldwide.
Our featured 1956 Austin Healey 100M is one of the genuine, highly desirable,
factory-built examples, documented by a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust
Certificate as well as by the Austin Healey 100M Le Mans Registry. This factory
left-drive 100M wears serial number 232949, and was originally delivered to the
USA in 1956. It is believed that the car was raced in the New York region of
the SCCA in its early days, and in the late 1960s was sold to its second
owners, Dick and Sharon Gunthell of North Salem, NY, who kept the car for the
next 30 years. They eventually treated the car to a comprehensive restoration
which was completed in 2002. The car was refinished in Old English White over a
blue interior and was enjoyed for several years before being sold to the third
owner, who in late 2010 handed the car over to BMC Classics of Florida for
further restoration work and freshening.
While in the care of BMC Classics, the Healey was extensively refreshed and
meticulously detailed to concours standards, with the work exceeding $20,000.
This included a new interior trimmed in correct blue leather with white piping,
and extensive under bonnet and suspension detailing.
Today, this rare and highly desirable factory-built Healey 100M remains in
beautiful condition, most recently part of an important collection of post-war
sports cars. The Old English white paintwork remains in very good condition
overall and the chrome and detailing is finished to a high standard. It
retains the correct original louvered bonnet with leather strap, and of course
the signature 100-4 folding windscreen. The Healey sits low on the road as it
should, with its uprated dampers and sway bars and riding on chrome wire wheels
wrapped in Dunlop radial tires.........................
