The Austin-Healey marque was the combination of Donald Healey and Austin Motorworks. Designed by Gerry Coker, the 100 was first introduced in 1952 at the Earls Court Motor Show.
Production of the BN-1 began in 1953. The 100 series included the BN-1, BN-2, 100-M and 100-S, and finally the 100-6. They were built through 1956 and were named 100s because that was their top speed. The difference between the BN-1 and the BN-2 was a four-speed/overdrive gearbox in lieu of the three-speed/overdrive on the earlier cars. Both were equipped with a 2.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The list price for the 1954 Austin-Healey was $2,995 and proved so popular that 10,000 BN-1 units were produced while on 4,500 BN-2 units were developed.
This BN-1 was largely intact prior to restoration and features the original convertible top, window plastic, Lucas electronics, tools and books.
