A contact in the UK sent me a lengthy newspaper article by the upcoming sale of this car by Bonhams in London in December. The article features four pictures of that car, as well as one of Healey himself posing with a 100. More photos are promised at the newspaper's Web site at westernmorningnews.co.uk. The paper said the estimate on the car is upwards of 600,000 British pounds. I may have overlooked other mention to this sale on the forum, and if so I apologize for not referencing these.

Back in 2013 a group of us from Southern California shipped our Healeys over to the UK to participate in the European Austin Healey Gathering. We toured England and Scotland and while we were there we were invited to an event on the grounds of the Carter Collection and we were fortunate to have seen this wonderful coupe in person. Below is a photo of a few of us with the car.

This has to be the most special Austin-Healey ever! It's a streetable 100S with beautiful one-of Healey designed bodywork. The fact that Donald drove it has his personal car for 10 years says everything about how much he must have appreciated this car.

Can you imagine how wonderful it would be driving this between Warwick and Cornwall? I totally agree, it has to be one of the best road-going Healeys.
