[Healeys] Sale 1955 Austin Healey 100S - Chassis No AHS 3502

[Derek Job]

The histories of the 50 cars are pretty well known. I seem to remember a
list of them being published in a magazine article (50th Anniversary of
100S?). Unfortunately I can't find it.

The black 100S (the only one) has been made up from scratch using a filler
cap, and a couple of other bits, plus the title.
