Description
The car was refinished in Old English White with contrasting red lower bodywork during previous ownership, and the selling dealer replaced the bumpers in preparation for sale. The leather bonnet strap securing the louvered hood is noted on the BMIHT certificate as factory equipment and distinguishes the car as a factory-built 100M. Close-up photos of the trim and finish are provided in the gallery, which show a semi-circular crack on the shroud aft of the cockpit as well…
The car was refinished in Old English White with contrasting red lower bodywork during previous ownership, and the selling dealer replaced the bumpers in preparation for sale. The leather bonnet strap securing the louvered hood is noted on the BMIHT certificate as factory equipment and distinguishes the car as a factory-built 100M. Close-up photos of the trim and finish are provided in the gallery, which show a semi-circular crack on the shroud aft of the cockpit as well as body number 10819 stamped on the louvered hood and assorted trim pieces.
Silver-finished 15″ wire wheels are secured by two-eared knockoffs and wear Dunlop SP 4N tires, including the matching spare. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums, and the suspension and brakes were overhauled in 2018 per an included invoice.
The two-place cockpit features black leather upholstery with red piping over the seats and driveline tunnel that is complemented by red carpeting, door panels, and trunk lining. Additional features include a banjo-spoke steering wheel, a dashboard-mounted rear-view mirror, and a 100M registry placard affixed to the body-color dashboard. The black convertible top is shown stowed behind the seats in the gallery.
Smiths instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, a fuel gauge, and a combination oil pressure and water-temperature gauge. Just over 62,500 miles are shown on the five-digit odometer, approximately 500 of which were added by the current owner.
The 2,660cc inline-four features a replacement block that was re-sleeved, line-bored, and hot-tanked during the 2019 rebuild. An aluminum cylinder head and uprated bolts from Denis Welch are fitted, and the factory pistons were replaced with forged alloy items from Arias with an 8.5:1 compression ratio. The camshaft is a reground and re-hardened Elgin component made to 6707 M specifications. Markings on the twin SU carburetors and distributor are pictured in the gallery, and a summary document outlines additional work undertaken during the engine rebuild, including the following:
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission with electronic overdrive. The floors have reportedly been replaced and dents are pictured at various points along the frame rails. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery.
The BMIHT Certificate lists the original colors and equipment, and denotes the car as an M. Additional documentation includes a 100M Registry membership certificate, 1959 invoices, and a copy of the 1959 Florida title. A driving video is presented below.
