This Austin-Healey 100 M rolled off the production line in December 1955 and was delivered to its first owner in Oregon, U.S.A. Finished in black and red with a red leather interior, this example is one of the factory-built 100 M models, as verified by official documentation, including a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate.

In 2016, John Wilson, owner of Healey Lane Restoration and owner of the car at the time,sold it to a collector, with the agreement that he would restore it to meet the Gold-level certification standards of the Austin-Healey Concours Registry. During the restoration, Austin-Healey specialist Peter Nesbitt overhauled the engine, gearbox, transmission, overdrive, and rear axle.

Photographs document the restoration process, and the car is accompanied by its certifications, restoration records, side curtains, a jack bag, toolkit, and related literature.

Introduced in September 1955, the Austin-Healey 100 M brought the performance upgrades of the race-winning cars to a limited-production road model. Only 640 examples were officially factory built, with OEM chassis records confirming genuine cars, distinct from BN1 and BN2 models later fitted with the Le Mans Engine Modification Kit.

The 100 M featured several upgrades compared to the standard BN2, including larger carburettors, a wider air intake box and filter, a high-lift camshaft, and high-performance pistons, contributing to improved performance and responsiveness.

Developed under the direction of Donald Healey, with body design by Gerry Coker and engineering development led by Geoff Bilbie, the model combined lightweight construction with agile handling and marked the beginning of the “Big Healey” lineage, later followed by the Austin-Healey 3000.

More than just a classic British sports car, the Austin-Healey 100 M represents one of the most desirable and authentic expressions of the model. With its documented restoration and comprehensive history, this example offers a great opportunity to acquire a highly collectible and authentic piece of British automotive history.
