This Austin Healey is not a factory La Mans version but a later one. The 100M modifications are all small, but they add up to an increase of 20 HP from 90 HP-110 HP, and ultimately an experience and presentation that is stunning.

Early history of this particular car which was delivered to a Düsseldorf car dealer. We do however know that it was produced on the 23rd December 1954 and was destined for Düsseldorf car dealer in Germany LHD. It was seen exactly as it is today in Healey Carmine Red and Black with red interior piping/Black top. It appears to have carried engine number 1B/222534-M when new from the factory, which it still has. By the mid 1990's we know that the car was in the hands of James J Yurasits, a renowned engineer born 30-11-1941 and 81 and fond of relaxing with his Austin Healey 100M engine and other related Marques, enjoyed this car in its present driver's state until about 1995 when a section of the bodywork was given a new coat of paint over the course of about 1 year.

Hoping to have given you a fantastic opportunity to experience the** Austin Healey 100M with La Mans Certificate from Bill Meade.** The most important thing is the experience behind the wheel, in which this little Healey hardly falls short. The car starts easily and once warm shows strong oil pressure between 40-60 pounds at all times. The cooling always stays in the middle of the range and would be hard to push to break 190. The clutch engages easily, as does selecting each gear. There is plenty of power available at all times, as these engines produce a lot of torque when needed. While in 3 and 4, the electric overdrive engages and disengages without any problems and the overall experience is trouble-free, whether in a tight corner or hard on the brakes. Overall, it is a wonderful place to be, especially with the windshield in its unique down position. It is only in recent years that the collector's focus has finally matured in shifting to the early 4-cylinder Healeys as the true basis of the company's early success and the focal point of interest in its great history. As the trend continues, these cars will prove to be some of the more important sports cars of the 1950s. These facts combined with the rarity of a genuine factory and later built and certified 100M "Le Mans" makes for a cocktail of incredible fun, class A investment potentia
