... or, Donald's personal 100 'coupe' with 100S running gear.

There will be a major feature on this car and this sale in an upcoming issue 
of HEALEY MARQUE, with several never-before/seldom seen photos and some 
insider info. For example, an inside source has told us that he expects the 
car to sell for a figure beginning with a 7 or an 8, as in 700,000-899,999 UK 
Pounds. There's more. 

This is a fascinating chapter in the history of what could be labeled the most 
interesting Austin-Healey ever made. I predicted in 2008 that it would not 
be too long before a 100S sold for more than $1m, and I think that this is 
going to be that sale. 

My vote for what to do with it (not that the new owner is likely to put it to 
a vote!) is to restore it to the high point of its history; namely, what it 
looked like at the beginning of the 1955 Le Mans.
