Beschreibung

The Austin-Healey 100 is a sports car was built from 1953 until 1956. 14,634 Austin-Healey 100s were produced
Based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals, it was developed by Donald Healey to be produced in-house by his small Healey car company in Warwick. Healey built a single Healey Hundred for the 1952 London Motor Show; the designed impressed Leonard Lord, managing director of Austin, who was looking for a replacement for the unsuccessful Austin A90. The Body styling was by Gerry Coker, and Barry Bilbie designed the chassis.
Leonard Lord negotiated a deal with Donald Healey to build it in quantity; Jensen Motors made the bodies, Austin mechanical components were used and assembled at Austin's Longbridge factory. The car was renamed the Austin-Healey 100.
The "100" was named by Healey for the car's ability to reach 100 mph (160 km/h); its successor, the better known Austin-Healey 3000, was named for the 3000 cc displacement of its engine.
Apart from the first twenty cars, production Austin-Healey 100s were finished at Austin’s plant alongside the A90 and based on fully trimmed and painted body/chassis units produced by Jensen in West Bromwich.

This particular Austin Healey 100/4 was delivered new to USA in 1954 and was subject to a under bonnet fire when it was four years old with ONLY 23,000 miles on the clock, so the car was garaged and never used, until the owner passed away and the family sold the car. The car was repatriated back to the UK in 2017 where it was totally stripped down and fully restored by the world renown Healey specialist and collector Warren Kennedy of Classic Restorations in Milton Keynes. The car was shown at the 2022 Salon Prive Concours in London and won. The car is outstanding in every way, with all matching numbers and original colours. The car is now fully completed ready for viewing.
