1953 Austin-Healey 100 BN1 for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1953 Austin-Healey 100 BN1 is a used car showing 27,769 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in White and Blue with a Black interior.

International Healey specialists regard it as the oldest Austin-Healey raced outside the works. Shipped in 1953 to Wichita Falls, Texas, where Carroll Shelby was then working, as the Healey records with the car show, it competed in SCCA events until 1962.

It then vanished until 1994, when it turned up in a barn in Columbia, South Carolina, and passed to Jeff Knudsen, a known figure among Healey owners, whose plan to race it again came to nothing. A marque specialist later restored it with period racing parts. The file holds period photographs, letters, race reports and invoices.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Austin Healey 100/4 uses the 2,660 cc four-cylinder, taken from the Austin A90 saloon, rated at 90 PS (67 kW), 0 to 100 km/h in 11.2 seconds and 171 km/h, with 110 PS in the 100M, with a three-speed manual gearbox with overdrive on the upper two ratios, and rear-wheel drive.
