This is one of 640 factory-built 100m ever produced.

Equipped with a factory Le Mans Kit. 2,660 CC OHV Inline 4-Cylinder Engine. Two SU HS6 Carburetors. 110 BHP at 4,500 RPM. 4-Speed Manual Gearbox. 4-Wheel Drum Brakes. Independent Front Suspension with Coil Springs. Live Rear Axle with Semi-Elliptical Leaf Springs. According to a trace certificate

issued by the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, this BN2 completed assembly on November 29, 1955, and was dispatched to the US. The certificate notably states, “As this car was fitted with a louvered bonnet, we can confirm that it is a genuine factory-built Austin-Healey 100 'M'.

” Being a factory-equipped 100M makes this Austin-Healey much rarer and more desirable to the collectible world. Many Austin-Healey enthusiasts believe that only 250 such cars remain. FIVA paperwork prepares this 100M for vintage rallying around the world as well. This 100m had very few owners over the course of it’s life. Had a completed body-off restoration in 2012 with a beautiful refinish in its

original colors of Old English White over a red interior. It is likely that this 100M was originally retailed somewhere in the American Southwest, and in 1967, the Austin-Healey was offered for sale at a dealership in Provo, Utah.

Purchased by a young racing mechanic named Duane Forsythe, the car then displayed approximately 12,000 miles. After little more than a year of street use, Mr. Forsythe noticed that the engine was developing inadequate compression, and he removed the motor with the intention of conducting a complete rebuild in his personal shop. Local race car driver Mike Carter took notice of the disassembled Austin-Healey and inquired about a sale. Unwilling to part with the

car at the time, Mr. Forsythe finally sold the car to him 33 years later, and Carter commenced a body-off restoration that included refurbishment of the frame, suspension, engine, body, and paint.

Unable to finish the project, he sold the 100M in 2009 to the consignor, who owns a well-respected restoration shop in Denver, Colorado. The new owner then completed the restoration, which he meticulously photo-documented in an album that is included with the car. Inspected and certified by FIVA in December 2011, this striking factory-equipped 100M is a noteworthy example and would make the perfect candidate for concours exhibition or spirited vintage touring campaigns.
