The seller is offering a 1954 Austin Healey 100-4 Convertible that

　　he says had belonged to a family member since 1959 and was fully

　　restored to original factory specifications in 1982. He says the

　　roadster was originally from a Southern state and that the frame is

　　"completely devoid of rust" and had no previous accident damage.

　　"Every mechanical component, the body, and interior were restored

　　to original factory-spec condition using original materials and

　　colors," he says. "I will include full documentation of the

　　restoration." In photos, this car presents very well, with the

　　41-year-old restoration still appearing quite good.He says the

　　family member purchased this car from the original owner on May

　　30,1959 and that he will include those sales documents, plus

　　maintenance records dating back to 1959. The car, he says, was used

　　only as an occasional Sunday afternoon drive and never in rain

　　through those years. "The restoration workmanship was of the

　　highest quality with considerable effort expended to ensure

　　authenticity," the seller states. He reports that the car has been

　　driven just 3,000 miles since then. The odometer had been reset at

　　some point, so the car's true mileage is not known.The Austin

　　Healey 100-4 debuted in 1953 as a collaboration between British

　　automaker Austin and small-volume sports car builder Donald Healey.

　　The "100" stood for the car's claimed top speed. Austin Healey

　　bodies were contract-built by Jensen in West Bromwich, England

　　(which later made the Interceptor luxury model), and final assembly

　　took place in the MG factory.
