Help ID'ing AH100 Hill Climb car

Post by jhg »

Hello. I'm hoping someone might be able to help identify this Austin Healey 100. It still wears a tech inspection sticker from the 1970 Tuscarora Hill Climb. Looks to have run as #203 and #03 in its day.

Thanks kindly for any info.

I thought I would respond to this request so that all of our members know how to go about requesting historical information.
Our PHA historian, Ron Mann, keeps an archive of material in his museum, which we are proud to say is the PHA museum.
We have a link under the History header called "Ask the Mann" on our web page where these type of questions can be directly forwarded to Ron's Email.
Just click the following link to be directed there: http://pahillclimb.org/history/ask-the-mann/

I find it amusing that the info being requested is for Car #03, which is my current PHA car number.
I know I probably saw this car run back in the 70's if it ran in Reading, but I honestly can't say I remember the car or driver.
Hopefully someone has some pictures or other information to help him out here?
I know Ron will have what he needs!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I've reached out to Ron and look forward to (hopefully) learning more.

On the case...

initial database results potentially having this car being driven by Harold Anstine of Red Lion, PA. No photos in the photo files.

Requested possible roll bar stamping numbers to cross reference the records.

good stuff...

also...Dale uploaded the latest issue of Historic Hill Climber...check out the sweet Porsche Special of Jack Rabold that just recently surfaced!!

Not sure this bit is useful, but since there are no door handles, it was probably a 1953 to 1956 Healey.
