The Iconic Sale at Race Retro 2026 - Competition Cars
ot Number: 623
1955 Austin-Healey 100 BN2 FIA HTP
ESTIMATE: £40,000 - £50,000
A UK road-registered, left-hand drive Healey BN2, professionally race-prepared and beautifully presented, offering total versatility and an ideal choice for the enthusiast seeking one car to unlock multiple experiences.
This 1955 BN2L (left-hand drive) represents exactly that — a professionally prepared and highly eligible entry into the upper tiers of historic motorsport.

It has been subject to a full body-off restoration/race preparation by MRM Motorsports to a very high standard including numerous Jeremy Welch race components, underlining the quality and intent of the build, and is accompanied by a current FIA HTP, ensuring eligibility for a wide variety of leading international historic race series and tours.

Sitting on competition-ready wire wheels, the Healey is finished in Old English White with a striking interior in Tartan Red leather and remains in excellent condition. As with any competition car, it's best to establish the currency and suitability of any safety-related equipment (cage, seats, harnesses, fuel tank etc.). We understand that the car has recently benefitted from an engine and gearbox service with a brake inspection.

Crucially, this Healey offers true versatility. Fully competition prepared yet retaining road registration, it is equally suited to circuit racing, historic tours or fast road events on both sides of the Channel, making it an ideal choice for the enthusiast seeking one car to unlock multiple experiences. It's been a regular entrant in the Woodcote Trophy race, run by Motor Racing Legends, other highlights include the Portimao and the Silverstone Pall Mall Cup events, and we understand that it is potentially Mille Miglia eligible.

When one considers the cost, time and expertise required to replicate such a build today, this BN2 represents simply superb value for money, offering access to some of the very best historic motorsport available. We invite and encourage your close inspection at Race Retro, where the quality and attention to detail can be fully appreciated.
