Austin-Healey introduced the 100 (BN1) at the Earl’s Court Motor Show in 1952. The car was met with great interest, and was later released in 1953. It offered consumers a fast affordable sports car which also exhibited great handling characteristics.

This beautiful Austin-Healey 100 (BN1) has been restored in the style of the 100M Austin-Healey factory racecars which raced at Le Mans. This car is presented in red with a centered racing stripe. The bumpers have been removed, giving this sports car a much more streamlined appearance. The vehicle rides on blackwall tires which are mounted on knock-off wire wheels. Other exterior features on the car include a louvered hood with leather tie-down strap, lay-down windshield and a 100M badge on the lower grille.

The car is powered by a 2,660-cc, 110-hp inline four-cylinder engine which is paired to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The interior is completed in red featuring a Moto-Lita steering wheel, Smiths instrumentation and a heater. Also included with the car is the tool roll and the spare tire.
