My father many years ago purchased an 54 Austin Healey 100. He has since passed away and left me the car. Its been in our family 48 years. Its been sitting in a garage for 25 plus years. I drove it a little when I was a teen back in the 1980's. The car has low miles. Its all there but needs full restoration. I would like to do it myself but am not capable to do it right now. I wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to a reputable restoration facility that can do the job. I reside in New England near the coast. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
Crowbar, thanks for input. I will check them out. My car is 98% original and not in all that bad of shape. The problem is it sat too long and it is 63 years old. I would not trust the wiring probably start a fire. I know it leaks oil here and there I wouldn't believe many of the seals are any good. I'm sure it needs more than that. Thanks again
 
Run up to Portland and ask Wayne... just don't offer to sell it!
 
Jim, I've been out of the auto seen for a long time now. I have not been to many shows in the past years. To many priorities and never enough time. I work a lot of hours and every third week I'm on after hours call out. I still keep in contact with the members of a club I once belonged to. The Shoreline Antique Auto Club which is no longer in existence. Sadly quite a lot of members have passed away. Wayne in Portland is he off of Rt 66? He usually has quite a collection of exotics out front of his shop if that's who you mean. I probably should but I have a feeling he is out of my price range. Thanks for the suggestion.
