The Donald Healey Motor Company was founded in 1945. It produced a number of roadsters and sedans through 1954, around the time of conceiving of the 100. This was a purpose built design to fill a niche between the low-end MG and the high-end Jaguars.
The Austin-Healey 100 is a sports car produced from 1953 until 1956. The first model, the 'Healey Hundred' was built by Donald Healey upon Austin A90 mechanicals. Introduced at the 1952 London Motor Show, the car impressed the managing director of Austin, who was looking for a replacement for the unsuccessful A90. Austin and Healey partnered to build it in quantity. Bodies were made by Jensen Motors, and fitted with Austin mechanical components at Austin's Longbridge factory.
The '100' was named by Healey for the car's ability to reach 100 miles per hour. 10,300 of the first series, the BN1, were made from May 1953 through August 1955. The second series BN2 was made through July 1956. The 100-M is a high performance model of the BN2, with larger carburetors, high lift cam, and 8.1:1 compression. It produces 110 horsepower.
Owners of the BN1 and BN2 could also buy a factory 'Le Mans' kit to bring the 100M upgrades to their cars. The BN2 was followed by the 100-6 in 1956 with a major redesign, followed by the 3000.
This particular example was fully restored. Just 640 100-M BN2's were produced and only 199 remain on the worldwide registry.
