[Healeys] You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

[Graeme Molony]

Looks like a nice car. Pity it has been stolen I hope he gets it back

But good luck with the insurance claim if not

There is  currently a very tidy looking red over black 1955 BN2 (originally left hand drive) now right hand drive converted by 
The Healey  Factory ( so it should be fairly good ) to !00M specifications available for sale here in Melbourne
for A$66,000.00 which equates to around US $52,800.00 on the current exchange rate.

Any one want a bargain 100M.?  My mate decided not to buy it as it was too nice  a car as he is looking for reasonably tidy car
to do up and sell on eventually but if the going price is now  !00K GBP perhaps he had better rethink  

Cheers

Graeme M

I have the car registered in The Austin Healey Club of America 100 Registry. It is a BN1 with Le Mans conversion. Not sure when the conversion was done. 

Last I saw the car listed was at Gullwing Motors (NY) in late 2011. It apparently went to the UK after that.

  Hi John, 

  There's more information on the car here: http://tinyurl.com/kskyb5h  
  According to the owner, the car was purchased by a U.S. soldier in Germany, shipped to the U.S. in the 60s and went back to the UK in 2013.

    Dear All 

    Having made just a quick check I cannot find any car in our database with that UK registration number.

    I have to presume that this means that the owner had not registered his car with the Austin-Healey Club UK. As you said with a chassis number it would help us all to keep an eye out for the car.

    I get the feeling that the registration (marque)  number 856 YUK would not have been issued when the car was young. It was issued in Wolverhampton but only counties or metropolitan areas' who had used up all the prefix letters, would have used the reverse system of numbers before letters. YUK is a long way from the first used of say xxx AUK so I would venture to guess that this registration was issued in the early the 1960s but before the extra suffix letter was added in 1962.

    This could mean that the car came back from outside the UK; but this sort of speculation is of no help without a chassis number.
