Thanks Curt,
As you point out, the text does not say the car is an M. However the caption
at the top of the description says:
LOT NO. 67
1955 Austin-Healey 100M
Two-Door Roadster

Jim,
I do not see in the description where they are advertising this as a factory
100M just as a BN2 with the bigger carburetors, and therefore a possible a Le
Mans conversion. If they knew it was a real Factory "M", trust me they wold
advertise it as such. There is now too much of a price difference to not find
out for certain.
Cheers,
Curt

A 1955 100 Chassis No. BN2L230235 will be sold at a no reserve auction
on
Saturday, March 3rd. This car, and 90+ other classics from Dick
Burdick's
Central Texas Museum of Automotive History will be sold by the Dan Kruse
Classics auction company starting at 10:00 AM at the Museum (which is
closing)
located at 2502 Highway 304, Smithville, Texas.
The Healey is being sold as a 100 M. Rich (or other Healey expert), can
you
tell me if this is a true factory or dealer conversion M, or is it a later
day
conversion? The write up says it has a Plexiglas windscreen (which I
don't
think was a feature of factory Ms), 1.75" H6 carburetor and a louvered
hood
with leather hold-down strap. It also says the car has been raced.
The photo on the Dan Kruse web site, dankruseclassics.com , with the
non-standard windscreen. The Healey is listed as Lot 57. It's hard to
tell
if it has a louvered hood and I don't see a hold down strap. The front,
and
probably the back bumpers are missing. If I have time, I will drive over
to
the Museum to take a look at the Healey and the other cars.
