Your advice is good. Hope he pays attention. I owned two AH 100-4's but that was back in the '60s. From what I remember, they were dependable cars at the time. One was a '56 & the other was a '54. They weren't particularly zippy, just as none of those old British sports cars were. They were fun to drive. I seem to remember something about them needing bearing replacements every 30K miles, but I never experienced that. They did rattle a lot & needed things tightened up periodically. The '56 experienced a front axle failure, where the front right axle cracked & broke off. I was glad that happened when I was only going about 25 mph on the way to work. The '54 had the carpet start smoking on a trip to the coast once from the tail pipe heating it up. Glad I had a bottle of Coke in the car for that. The electric overdrive was nice. Also had a '59 TR3 I liked a lot. I had to give it a valve job, but that was just from normal wear & tear. All old English cars from that time are well known for their carb & electrical issues. Sorry I can't add more than that.
