The Austin-Healey 100 is a sports car built between 1953 and
1956 by the British Motor Corporation. It was developed by
Donald Healey to be produced in-house by Healey's small car company
in Warwick and based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals.
Healey built a single 'Healey Hundred' for the 1952 London Motor
Show and the design impressed Leonard Lord. Managing Director of
Austin. so much that a deal was struck with Healey to build it in
quantity at Austin's Longbridge factory. The car was renamed the
Austin-Healey 100. The first 100's (series 'BN1') were equipped
with the same 90bhp engines and manual transmission as the stock
A90. but the transmission was modified to be a three-speed unit
with overdrive on second and top. The BN2 came with a real
four-speed manual transmission. still with overdrive on the top two
gears. Features which distinguish the BN2 from the BN1 are the
slightly larger front wheel arches. different rear axle and being
the first 100 with optional two-tone paint.

Built on 24th May 1956. this Austin Healey 100 BN2 was despatched
to North American dealer Hambro Trading in Los Angeles. Repatriated
to the UK in 1990. the car underwent a restoration. including the
fitment of four fibre glass wings - although it should be noted
these have been exceptionally well fitted and are of the highest
quality. A heritage certificate accompanies XSV459 together with
all the MoT test certificates from 1990. Supplied with a V5
registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid
until 3rd March 2014. this BN2 represents an excellent opportunity
given the increase we have seen in Austin Healey values of
late.
