The original 1953 Austin-Healey 100 (4 cylinder), was produced with
aluminium front and rear shrouds, fenders, doors, hood and trunk lids.
I think it was a short production run, maybe pre-production, as they kept
the aluminium shrouds but went with steel in the other body pieces later
in production.
