1955 Austin Healey 100/4 BN2 for sale
Current customer rating: (223 votes ) based onFor most cognoscenti the purest iteration. hence the only model worth consideration. it provides something none of its successors could deliver: a wind shield that can be lowered to an almost horizontal position. for the ultimate in fresh-air entertainment.
In fact. the 100/4 folding wind shield is quite unique in post-war automotive history. Converted in less than a minute from a characteristic British Roadster to the closest thing this side of a motorcycle on four wheels. driving the Big Healey with the wind shield folded back provides more exciting wind-in-the-face and bugs-in-the-teeth fun than any other sports car I can think of!
From the moment you push the small black Bakelite button to stir the starter motor. the car feels alive. The engine announces itself with a bark and reacts instantly--almost telepathically--to the throttle as the exhaust belches a throaty tune. sounding and running flawlessly and popping beautifully on the overrun it is truly music to the ears.
One of the finest Healeys we have had the pleasure of owning. restored to a concourse standard and finished in stunning british racing green with green leather interior finished with 100M upgrades

We have known and maintained this car over the past few years. the previous owner has used it throughout the summer months only and taken part in many local classic car tours of the yorkshire dales proving that this BN2 is an ultra reliable touring car. Throughout the winter months it has remained in purpose built heated storage with a large collection of classics and started regularily.
When driven on the road. this car fully reflects the fast specification synonymous with a 100M. Fantastic throttle response. the car is quick . gile and a real joy to press on with – more than capable of embarrassing modern cars on a twisty country road!
This is ‘wind-in-the-face and bugs-in-the-teeth ' at its' very best with an exhaust note putting most to shame!
Not to be missed and a water tight investment.
