Sellers description:
Black Horse Garage proudly presents this wonderfully original, matching numbers 1956 BN2 100-4. Even though muscle car guys would scoff, the 2.6 liter inline four is actually considered a pretty big engine - at a time comparable cars from MG and Triumph made do with engines under 2 liters, the power and torque of this engine really set it apart. This car has an advantage of being fitted with the 4 speed gearbox with electric overdrive which adds a degree of driveability over the earlier, 3 speed cars. This pretty little Healey comes from a collection that is very well known by Black Horse Garage. Body and paint are in very nice condition with a deep luster and few flaws. The interior is largely original with red vinyl seats and panels contrasting beautifully with the deep, non-metallic green paint and black carpets. Austin Healey's have always been appreciated for their beauty, and this is no exception, especially finished in this particular shade of dark green. Mechanically, this 100 is very sound. Having been serviced and sorted by Black Horse Garage ensures this car will be ready for you to use on that perfect autumn day. Other details include a full tonneau cover in excellent condition and a compliment of tools in the correctly trimmed trunk. This is a wonderfully original example of a Healey 100-4 that will give it's new owner many years of enjoyment. We at Black Horse Garage are confident that this is a Healey worth seeing.
