According to "Accessories for your Sports Car" by
Larry Reid, pub.1958 as part of the Modern Sports Car
Series, the same series that gave us the Healey/Wisdom
book, fitted suitcases for 100/6 were available from
the Warren Leather Goods Co.,Worcester 1, MA.
"The set for the Austin Healey 100-6 has a case
24"x7"x7" and one 29"x12.5"x5". A formed plastic cap
is supplied to fit over the hub of the spare wheel to
protect the cases.
All cases are made from 5/16" basswood shooks with
1/8" plywood panels on top and bottom. Covering is
plastic-coated fabric, ginger color. Lining is tan
twill. Leather corners and handles. Two brass locks
with keys. $30. per set."
Best, JK
