Florida Green 1956 Austin Healey 100M
One of the many outstanding cars from last weekend’s Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance was this 100M from Larry and Wendy Titchner of Toronto, Canada.
This car was owned by a single family from the early 1960s until the current owners purchased it in 2010.
It is also certified by the 100M Le Mans Registry to be one of the 640 factory built 100M models.

Mercedes-Benz 300 restorater Rudi Koniczek is being celebrated today as a feature of the 2016 Canadian Concours d’Élégance.
He is the 300SL boss and has worked on over 10% of the complete 300SL production as well as other interesting showcars.
Local talent Mike Grams of Coachwerks and Electroshine in Sidney should also get a mention as their hard work is also seen on these cars.
Naturally we were drawn to the 1956 Austin-Healey 100M of Chris Yarrow which is an absolute show stopper.
Presented by Hagerty, the Concours d’Élégance is part of the 2016 Luxury & Supercar weekend held at the Van Duesen Gardens.

Among three Healey 100s that came from the Island for the VanDuesen show was this spectacular, restoration debut, 100M from owner Chris Yarrow.
This is what you could call a factory 100M which was shipped with competition features directly from the factory.
After subsequent purchase from the Daniel Doucette collection alongside a very original XK120, this 100M was restored by Rudi & Company with paint and body work by Coachwerks Automotive Restoration, chrome by Electroshine Metal Refinshers Ltd and upholstery by Tom Steger and Style’s Auto Upholstery.
Devil is in the details and Chris has gone to great lengths to get this car period correct.
While in Florida we had a pleasant surprise at the Bonhams tent where this 1956 Austin-Healey 100M BN2 was sitting.
It was brought along by Wayne Carini of Chasing Classic Cars and it will probably appear on a future episode.
Chassis BN2L/230966 was originally purchased by an architect who carefully preserved the original fit and finish for over 20 years and 37,253 miles of motoring. It then landed in the Fink collection and accrued only a handful of additional miles since.
As such, it is a stunning showpiece of originality, one that we had to photograph in and out.
Bonhams sold this BN2 for US$ 206,800 at their Amelia Island Auction on 12 Mar 2015.
