That won't tell you. There is only one way to know -- you get a Heritage 
Trust certificate that says the car with that serial number was shipped from 
Jensen's with a louvred hood and is, therefore, a "100M" and then you remove 
one of the cockpit surrounds and see if the number stamped on the cockpit 
surround matches the body number on the certificate. That test is conclusive, 
since it was the body that makes it a 100M -- NOT THE CARBS, OR OTHER 
ACCESSORIES, -- and (for someone who is buying at auction or from another 
owner) 
is reasonably non-invasive.\\G.
