The Austin-Healey 100 emerged from a post-war Britain eager for export success, a brilliant collaboration between Donald Healey and Austin's Leonard Lord. Debuting at the 1952 London Motor Show, its elegant, flowing lines penned by Gerry Coker perfectly encapsulated "speed at rest," a design philosophy that captivated enthusiasts worldwide. Initially powered by an Austin A90 Atlantic engine, the 100 quickly established itself as a formidable competitor in rallying and racing, including a class victory at the 1953 12 Hours of Sebring. The BN2, introduced in late 1955, represented the final evolution of the original 100 series, distinguished by its four-speed gearbox with overdrive, larger front brakes, and a slightly redesigned grille, solidifying its status as a true British sports car icon before the introduction of the more powerful 100M and 100-6 models. This particular 1955 Austin-Healey 100 BN2 Roadster stands as a testament to that legacy, presented in a condition that suggests a meticulous, no-expense-spared restoration. With 0 miles since its comprehensive nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration, this numbers-matching example is powered by its original 2.7-liter inline-four engine, paired with the desirable BN2-specific four-speed manual transmission. The vibrant red exterior accentuates the car's iconic curves, while extensive documentation further validates its authenticity and the quality of its revival. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a meticulously restored example of one of Britain's most beloved roadsters.
