88v8

1959 car with air suspension, overlarge wheelarch clearance, and huge ugly roll bar.
Boot (trunk) full of two fuel tanks....

350 with Fitech injection

Bidding going well, perhaps, on BaT, from where as usual I can't post pics.

Interestingly, Healyrick linked to another site where it's for sale, at a price which will surely be exceeded on BaT unless the latest bidder has had a fat finger moment.
https://dadsclassiccars.com/used-1959-austin-healey-100-6-for-sale-in-ocala-fl-bn6l3885-1291612. I would post pics from there but they're completely fuzzed.

Pretty sure it only has one fuel tank.  The upper "fuel" tank is the air reservoir for the bagged suspension.

It's on yet another site, from which I can copy a pic or two

Price there was $46,900. Now says Sold, presumably because it's on BaT.

Rnm at $35,500.
The noob seller was late to the party and was not able to overcome the negative impressions.

The seller didn't answer any of the many substantive questions about the car.  Personally, I thought it was very unattractive.  One of the ads I linked to said there were all the original booklets and diagrams that went with the car, probably would have helped to show them in the ad.
