That won't tell you. There is only one way to know -- you get a Heritage
Trust certificate that says the car with that serial number was shipped from
Jensen's with a louvred hood and is, therefore, a "100M" and then you remove
one of the cockpit surrounds and see if the number stamped on the cockpit
surround matches the body number on the certificate. That test is conclusive,
since it was the body that makes it a 100M -- NOT THE CARBS, OR OTHER
ACCESSORIES, -- and (for someone who is buying at auction or from another
owner)
is reasonably non-invasive.\\G.
