This 1954 Austin-Healey 100 BN1 roadster is said to have been acquired by the uncle of the seller’s spouse in 1959. It later underwent a refurbishment in 1982 that involved a repaint in black along with an interior re-trim in red leather. Power is supplied by a 2.7-liter inline-four equipped with twin SU carburetors, while shifting is through a three-speed manual transmission with Laycock de Normanville overdrive. Further details include an adjustable-rake windscreen, a banjo-style steering wheel, and Smiths instrumentation along with a retractable red vinyl soft top and removable side curtains. This 100 BN1 roadster is now offered with service records and a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in black and is said to have been repainted as part of the aforementioned 1982 refurbishment. Details include a retractable red vinyl soft top, an adjustable-rake windscreen, and chrome bumpers with overriders.

Chrome 15″ wire wheels are secured with two-eared knock-offs and wear 165-series Firestone F-560 tires. Stopping power is provided by drum brakes all around.

The low-back bucket seats have been re-trimmed in red leather and are accompanied by color-coordinated door panels and carpets. A rearview mirror is mounted atop the dash, and the shifter is situated to the left of the central tunnel.

The banjo-style steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation that includes a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit mechanical odometer has rolled over and now shows 1,600 miles. Total mileage is unknown.

The 2.7-liter inline-four features a green-painted engine block and valve covers. The twin SU H4 carburetors wear green-finished “pancake” air filters. An oil change was performed in anticipation of the sale.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission with Laycock de Normanville overdrive on the second and third gears.

A selection of records are included in the sale along with a knock-off hammer and side curtains.

USD $58,000 on 2/4/24
