The Austin-Healey 100, a car born from the collaboration between Donald Healey and Austin, debuted at the 1952 London Motor Show and instantly captivated enthusiasts with its sleek lines and sporting promise. Originally powered by the A90 Atlantic engine, the 100-4 (BN1 and later BN2) was designed for speed and touring, quickly establishing itself in motorsport, including class wins at Sebring and a strong showing at Le Mans. Its simple yet elegant design, combined with a robust chassis and peppy inline-four, cemented its status as one of Britain's most iconic post-war sports cars, bridging the gap between utilitarian roadsters and more luxurious grand tourers. This 1955 Austin-Healey 100-4, a BN2 model, emerges from long-term ownership dating back to 1994, presenting a fantastic opportunity for its next custodian. Finished in the timeless Old English White over a contrasting black interior, this classic embodies the quintessential British roadster aesthetic. Under the bonnet resides its inline-four engine, fed by SU dual carburetors and paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, promising an engaging and authentic driving experience. Equipped with a floor-mounted shifter, Smiths instrumentation, a convertible soft top, and side curtains, this 100-4 rolls on 15-inch wire wheels adorned with knock-off spinners and Firestone tires. This charming Austin-Healey 100-4 awaits its next chapter on the open road.
