WOW!  Good taste again prevails. Now for the real question: is it a factory
M or just a LeMans? Thanks for sharing.

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 believe. Also, someone pointed out the bonnet strap anchors look to be too close to the bonnet (as if they were added 'after the fact').

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. =

Healeys were not built by "model year", which is a USA concept.   Most =
of the world considers the "year" of a car the calendar year in which it =
was actually built.  In the USA, a car is registered according to "model =
year", which can be different from the calendar year of build.   Any car =
built in calendar year 1963, but sold close enough to the "new model =
year" beginning in September/October 1963 or afterward could have been =
first registered by the DMV as a 1964 car.

=20

I know of several people who have had trouble registering ex-California =
BJ8s because the DMV there had a policy of adding the two-digit "year of =
manufacture" to the beginning of the factory VIN on the registration and =
title documents (e.g., 67HBJ8L/38726).   On export of the car out of =
California, the new owner encountered static from the receiving DMV =
because the paperwork didn't match the number on the VIN plate exactly.

=20

I bet that the CHP have no idea what the difference is between a =
convertible and a roadster, but they know they are different words.
