1955 AUSTIN HEALEY BN1-100.4 Cabriolet

We present to you this magnificent Austin Healey 100/ 4 BN1, the first generation of the legendary Healey 100, from December 1955, one of the most iconic models of English motoring in the 1950s. Designed to combine sportiness, elegance and driving pleasure, this Healey perfectly embodies the spirit of classic roadsters. Our example in Healey Blue presents itself in very good overall condition; a paint job with beautiful lustre combined with navy blue leather upholstery. The dashboard with all its instrumentation and steering wheel are in varnished wood. The car features a black vinyl hood as well as a hood cover. Presented in fine condition, this Austin Healey retains all the charm and elegance of the original, faithful to the spirit of the era.

Originally delivered new in the United States and imported to Europe in 2019.

Single owner since importation; vehicle that has been very well maintained – complete brake overhaul in 2022 (invoice provided). A full restoration was carried out prior to importation.

The bodywork displays the fluid and purposeful lines typical of the early Healey 100: a long bonnet, rounded wings – one of the finest looks of the 1950s.

Thanks to a freshly renovated cylinder head, the engine starts easily, runs smoothly and delivers a characterful, very pleasant note, with gratifying deep tones.

The gearbox with overdrive functions perfectly, offering lively, smooth and enjoyable driving, whether on the road or during more spirited outings.

The chassis and running gear are sound; the car handles with precision and stability for its age.

Our Austin Healey presents itself in very fine restored condition, with an impressive bodywork, well-maintained chrome and an interior faithful to period spirit.

The "Big Healey" is inseparable from competition, this model being eligible for most classic events such as Tour Auto or Le Mans Classic.
