Here is a page from
the January, 1953, issue of Auto Speed and Sport magazine. The caption
refers to the—New! New! New!—Austin-Healey "100" sports two-seater
shown in profile, with—Ack! Ack! Ack!—DISC wheels and hubcaps: "Sensation
of the show . . ." Further in the text you will find specifications that
may differ from what we (some of us) (not I) know of the production versions.
The text continues on the next page: ". . . (pro-)duction of this new
Sports car; And the Austin factory may be able to bring out as many as 10,000
a year, of which about 90 per cent would be marked for export. The price in Britain
has been fixed at £850 ($2380)."
