Austin Healey 100/4 or 100/6 |

I'd go for AH 100. The 100/6 was slightly longer (2+2) and had the oval grille. This can be a 1953-1955 100 [BN1] (3-speed + overdrive), a 100 M (with tuned engine and stiffer suspensions) or a 100 [BN2] (4-speed + overdrive). |

I did the rectification: 100/4 -> 100 S (55). |

Sorry,10 years late on this one. While the driver might very well be Harry Jones, the car is definitely not a 100S. It is more likely to be a 100, or a 100M. 1.all 100S were Right hand drive. 2 All 100s had disc brakes, this one has drums. 3 100S had the oval grill, later to appear, slightly modified, on the later sixes.This one has an original triangular one. 4 No 100S ever left the factory wearing front and rear chrome bumpers, and I can't imagine why anyone would fit them for racing. 5 Finally I don't think anyone planning for it to have a serious accident would use an S,when an ordinary 100 would do the job, and be considerably cheaper. |

Agree plain 100/4. Nothing suggests 100 M - no bonnet louvres, straps, nor a correct 2-tone separation. |
