[Healeys] Mystery Austin Healey in Jay Leno's Restoration Garage

[Mr. Bill]

I believe the car he was interested in belongs to a member of our Club, 
the Austin-Healey Association of So. Cal., who is not on this List.  It 
is a black 100 nasty boy with Nerf bars and custom built-in side pipes.  
It is fitted with an aluminum block Olds V-8 and dual Strombergs.  
According to the owner, Jay talked to him for about half an hour about it.

Note Jay was super interested in one of the 100's on the British Car day at Woodley Park, LA a couple months ago.
