Look closely the car has reflectors on the rear shroud those were =
installed in August of 54 which would make it a late BN1 or a BN2. The =
hood strap who ever installed it after the restoration could have very =
easily installed it to close to the hood opening.  The 100M Le Mans kits =
were available for the BN1s and the BN2s according to Roger Moments =
Healey Guide page 38.

So yes this car could be a Factory 100M or a 100 M LeMans Kit =
installation. And I am sure there is no chance that someone has got the =
year of the car wrong somewhere. The amount of cars I see the are one =
year acording the the DMV records and when you look up the VIN numbers =
its another year.  I recently had a 64 BJ7 in the shop according to the =
owner who had recently purchased the car. When you look at the =
registration it was first sold in February of 64 so the DMV listed it as =
a 64 not a 63.

Also have a TR3 in the shop that is having problems with getting a =
California registration. The car came from Colorado where they showed =
the car as a Convertible, when the CHP did a VIN verification they =
listed it as a Roadster. So California will not accept the verification. =

The 'consensus' on the Forum, I think, is that it's not.  Article says =
it's a '54, and Ms weren't produced at the factory until late '55, I =

too close to the bonnet (as if they were added 'after the fact').

WOW!  Good taste again prevails. Now for the real question: is it a =
