    AHS 3804 - Ed Bussey

    Ken H , Paul B and others the photo - reposted below

    The Cars from closest to front of the line-up ;
    Austin Healey white LHD [ not a 100S - as they were all right hand drive when built ]
    From the other photo of the car a 100/6 or early 3000
    Second car yes looks like a 100S RHD and fuel filler in correct place - if AHS3804 Engine # 222736 body # 64 was sold to Ed Bussey -as mentioned by Ken - through Ship to Shore Motors West Palm Beach,
    USA dispatch date stated as 19 Nov 1955 - by Geoff Healey in his books.
    The third car in the photo looking from the back - a Triumph either TR2 or more Likely TR3,
    Then a mystery car
    The front car in the line or last car another Austin Healey probably 100/6 or early 3000. 100/6 were 1956-59 first 3000's in 1959

    Name:  AH 100 #55 in line up 100, 100,TR3 unsure and 100 August 1962 Jerry Melton K Hyndman.jpg

    Edited comment : Ken have " borrowed " the photo's for my archives and the "Austin - Healey " thread.
    I have from the Geoff Healey books the full manufacturing details of all the 100S including the Experimental [ Record Breakers ] and the 5 works Racers
