2,660cc inline four-cylinder engine, 90 HP, three-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, independent front suspension with coil springs and anti-roll bar, semi-elliptic leaf springs and anti-sway bar, four-wheel drum brakes, rear-wheel drive; wheelbase: 90”

This stellar, late production 1955 Austin-Healey 100-4 BN1, chassis number BNIL 221406, is a numbers-matching example that shows less than 48,000 miles on its odometer. It wears its original Spruce Green color and beautiful matching dark green leather interior, as corroborated by the included BMIHT certificate. It comes with a perfectly fitting green convertible top and green tonneau cover, along with the original side screens in excellent condition and a complete tool roll. It is equipped with overdrive and dealer installed Marchal driving lamp along with the Le Mans package cold air box and louvered hood. The original hood is included with the car as well. It is shod with new period-correct Dunlop Road Speed RS5 tires. The restoration is believed to be a bit older but has held up impressively well with the car still displaying beautifully throughout. Also worthy of note are the recent services that took place in 2018 through 2020. Just under $6,000 went into a full brake rebuild and service, battery replacement, aluminum engine components, and general upkeep items. Services records of the work, as well as an extensive number of restoration photos will accompany the sale of this vehicle.

This car, with its light and lively chassis, provides exceptional open-top motoring fun. Enhancing the experience even further, the windshield can be placed in its lowered position providing not only a great air-in-your-face experience but also a svelte and racing look to the car. With impeccable paint, chrome and trim, and a correctly restored interior, all wrapped around its factory high-performance engine, this Austin-Healey is a seldom-seen opportunity to acquire one of the few well-documented and factory-built 100-4 BN1s.
