1955 Austin Healey 100/4

Vehicle Description

We are absolutely thrilled to be offering for sale this gorgeous 1956 AUSTIN HEALEY 100/4.

• Finished in CARMINE RED with MATCHING RED leather, this car has enjoyed a major restoration by it’s owner 12 years ago when it was a barn find .
• Hardly used. Since its restoration, the car has covered 658 miles.
• It was the previous owners little fun toy he kept in his collection amongst his Bentley’s, Rolls Royce and Ferrari’s.
• Named 100 for 100HP and over 100MPH (colloquially named 100/4s) these two-seat Healeys are powered by a torquey 2660cc 4-cylinder.
• Regarded as the purest in terms of design and feel with a low kerb weight. A drop-down windscreen is among iconic features. 1953-55 BN1 cars utilise a 3-speed gearbox with overdrive on second and third – not something to be put off by with a final drive ratio identical to BN2 cars. Many even prefer BN1s as until July 1954 they were 80kg lighter due to an aluminium boot, bonnet and lighter rear axle.
• This particular 100 underwent a full restoration in 2013 and has been very well cared for during this time with no expense spared maintaining it with various specialists over the years. Includes Overdrive feature.
