Help with ideas tracking down original owner of a 1956 Austin-Healey

Hi all,

I'm trying to track down the history of an Austin-Healey 100M that my father purchased 10 or so years ago. He purchased it from a widow in State College, PA who gave him some history of the car, as her husband was the 2nd owner. She stated that they purchased it in 1960 from the original owner and that it was raced at Marlboro in the 50's. However, I have searched google and can't find anything that relates to the numbers of this particular car.
It's a 1956 and it's a very early factory 100M, built in November of 1955.

Does anyone have any ideas of where I might look? Unfortunately, I don't believe contacting Eleanor for more info is an option. Although, I currently have my father pursuing that avenue.

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Here are pics of the car when my dad picked it up and how it is now.
