I have a Donald Healey Motor Co. LTD price list for U.S. Forces for the 100=
-6. The price of a car (100-6) including the M.M. Kit was $2295.00. Years a=
go this list determined this was one of the only real documents that referr=
ed to a M.M. model. Magazines did but nothing factory.


Four wheel disc brakes, servo assisted , were a option at $245.87

There was a model called a "Mille Miglia" in marketing literature and adver=
ts that mention four wheel disk brakes.
