1959 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN6, SoCal black plate car

1959 Austin Healey 100-6 BN6 Additional Info:

I drove a long way to a central valley town that was frozen solid. I only had a sweatshirt and was preparing for a shivering look at this and 4 other little roadsters. This car Lived in SoCal its whole life until recently. The car was owned by a man named Jacques since at least 1977. He threw away the rear fenders when they had gotten rusty. The car has sat dormant for decades. Its had a robust transmission built for it. All the bells and whistles on the trans. There are many new brake parts in the boxes. The car was upgraded to 12V. It's a terrific car to build. There are mind boggling ancient receipts and notes from the owner from himself. According to the notes he left this is one of 285 cars imported to the USA & one of 329 total units produced. Also in the notes that it is one of the last cars built before the change to 3000. The engine is an unknown but I heard it was knocking. I also was told it's non-matching. I will try to figure that out, any tips would be appreciated. Title and shipping available, thanks for looking, Dan
