If you are so intrigued by these cars, I have a friend that has 4 of these old 
geezers and I believe they are for sale. They are definitely fixer-uppers. I 
think he has titles for them, but not positive.

The Austin Healey  buried in the Kelly family garage seems to be a
1955/56
100M. This car was a "souped up" version of the standard 100/4. Cars
started production in late 1955 and ended in late 1956. The name came
from an optional
engine package that raise the horsepower from 90 to 110. Only 1159 of
these
cars were produced and the number shipped to the U.S. is unclear.

An even more rare 100/4 was produced. The 100/4 AHS was produced in 1955

with 50 cars being made. This was the Austin Healey "Factory" car. It
had aluminum fenders and no bumpers. It used the standard 100/4 engine
block
but was fitted with the "Weslake" cylinder head and produced 132
horsepower.

Just thought some of you might like to know.
