Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This is a rare, matching numbers, right-hand drive 1954 Austin-Healey BN1, one of only about 1,030 built in this configuration. It underwent an extensive restoration in 1993 and has seen very limited use since, with recent attention to its fuel, brake, and cooling systems.

Supplied new in Healey Blue metallic with Blue upholstery, this car has had only a few owners, with the current keeper since 1983. Its history is well-documented, including photographic evidence of the restoration and a letter from a marque authority. This BN1 is noted for being a particularly attractive example of the 'Healey Hundred' model.

Condition

The car underwent an extensive, photographically documented restoration in 1993 and has reportedly covered only about 500 miles since. Recent work has been done on the fuel, brake, and cooling systems, and it was thoroughly serviced. It starts readily and runs well. While not pristine, it is in excellent condition for a classic car of this age, requiring only minor attention after a restoration and recent mechanical fettling.

Penned by Gerry Coker, the Tickford-built Roadster featured a box-section chassis, independent front suspension, ‘live’ rear axle, four-wheel drum brakes and Austin A90 Atlantic running gear.

One of numerous show goers to have his jaw dropped, Austin’s Managing Director Leonard Lord soon convinced Donald Healey that a joint venture between their two companies was the best way to realise the Hundred’s obvious sales potential.
