Tadek,

Make/ Marque (same thing)  :  Austin-Healey
Model :  100 , 3000 Mark III, etc
Manufacturer :  The Austin Motor Co. Ltd.
Type :  (body style)  2-seat  Roadster, Convertible

The car was the product of a "gentleman's agreement" between Donald Healey,
head of  The Donald Healey Motor Company Ltd., and Sir Leonard Lord, head of
The British Motor Corporation (Austin and Morris combined).  It was to be
produced as a joint venture, with Lord handling manufacturing and distribution
and Healey retaining control over design and development.

As far as government licensing offices go, I would also just roll with it.
Don't argue with them, call it Make- Austin, Model -Healey, whatever.   Grab
your papers and get the hell out of the office.  (Speaking from experience as
someone who has registered several oddball cars not listed in the DMV
computer)

Best
Peter
