1954 Austin-Healey 100 BN1 Le Mans for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1954 Austin-Healey 100 BN1 Le Mans is a used car showing 24,062 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Ivory White and Lobelia Blue with a Dark blue interior.

After Healey's two lightly modified cars finished 12th and 14th at Le Mans in 1953, dealers could offer a tuning kit named after the race, worth about ten extra horsepower. The works fitted one to this BN1 in 1956, and today it is recorded, certificates included, in the 100M Le Mans Registry, where it is listed as an EC-Healey.

Sold new through the Heerlen dealer in 1954, the car was used for some ten years, then laid up for decades. A specialist restored it nut and bolt after 2000, and it has since won awards. The file holds a Heritage Trust certificate, Dutch papers, invoices, restoration photographs, period letters with the national motorsport association and press articles about this car.

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.
