1955 Austin-Healey 100 BN1

Features:

Exceptionally straight and rust-free frame, body, sills and floors

Believed to be a 2-owner car

More than 50 years of garage storage

Desirable 4-speed transmission with overdrive

Approximately 13,000 miles shown, believed accurate

A genuine Colorado barn find with the kind of body and frame that is getting harder and harder to find.

This 1955 Austin Healey 100 BN1 is an exceptionally interesting restoration project with more than 50 years of storage history. Believed to be a two-owner car, it was purchased by its second owner in 1964 and remained with him for decades. After acquiring real estate throughout the Denver area, he stored cars at various properties, and this Healey eventually went into a garage where it has remained off the road since the early 1970s.

The car shows approximately 13,000 miles on the odometer, which we believe may be accurate given its exceptionally long period of storage. It has also spent its entire life in Colorado, and the dry climate has helped preserve it remarkably well.

Most importantly, the body and frame are exceptionally straight and rust free. The car retains its original floors and sills, making this a particularly solid foundation for someone looking for an honest Austin Healey restoration project.

The car is also equipped with the desirable 4-speed transmission with overdrive, adding to its appeal as an early Austin Healey 100 BN1.

This is an honest, unrestored project with decades of history behind it. Finding a 1955 Austin Healey 100 with this kind of long-term storage history, original structural components, desirable transmission, and an exceptionally straight and rust-free body and frame is becoming increasingly difficult.
