Estimated at £34,000 - £38,000

Lot details

Registration No: RER 707
Chassis No: BN426099
MOT: Exempt

  • Home market RHD example
  • An older restoration which incorporated some rally-style modifications
  • Four-speed gearbox with overdrive

This early specification BN4 is a home market RHD example finished in Blue with a Blue interior. Unfortunately, the car’s extensive history file has been mislaid but we understand it is an older restoration that incorporated some rally-style modifications and we are further advised it has been enjoyed by just two previous owners from new. Described as having “very good” bodywork with “good” paint and “excellent” engine, transmission and interior trim, the four-speed gearbox benefits from overdrive and a tonneau cover is present along with hood and side screens. Offered with Swansea V5C document this sporting Healey is worthy of close inspection.

The Healey 100/4 was assembled by Austin at Longbridge using Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and bodies crafted by Jensen Motors. For 1956, the wheelbase was lengthened, the bodywork facelifted and the four-cylinder engine replaced by BMC's six-cylinder C Series unit. Called the 100/6, it was initially available in 2+2 guise (BN4), with a two-seater (BN6) version following in 1957. The last of the 100 models, the BN4 and BN6 were more refined than the preceding 100/4 with early versions producing around 102bhp, but by 1957 output of the 100-Six had risen to 117bhp (thanks to the adoption of a new twelve-port cylinder head).
