This car as illustrated on the cover of the Haynes Manual also has the two =
rare spare tire bars which, combined with triple carbs and wood dash makes =
it extremely rare, probably worth a lot more than any other Austin-Healey e=
xcept the 100S.
This is the kind of absurd description that auction houses are using to pro=
p up the price of otherwise ordinary cars, making bidders believe that they=
 can acquire a really rare car when in reality they were built in the thous=
and of not in some cases, millions.

Simon,

That VIN is in the registry, but no engine serial number.  The number
you have is about right based on other cars.  The entry is from 1998
with no contact info.

Perry,

Simon was referring to the illustration on the front cover of the
manual.  Tri-carb with wood dash.
