1954 Austin-Healey 100 Roadster

The Austin-Healey 100 was a sports car built between 1953 and 1956 by the British Motor Corporation. Healey built a single “Healey 100″ for the 1952 London Motor Show, and the design impressed BMC, owner of Austin, so much that the firm decided to bring production in-house. The 2660 cc engine featured an undersquare 87.3 mm bore and 111.1 mm stroke. The BN2 came with a real 4-speed manual transmission.
