Auction description
We are advised that this Austin-Healey 100 (BN1) roadster has been fitted with the Le Mans (100M) kit from new. Owned originally by one K W Fraser, of Glasgow (a director of A & D Fraser Ltd) the car was first registered �JUS 2� and competed in the 1954 Tulip Rally, one of the first �Big Healeys� to do so. The car was re-registered �PGB 505� when K W Fraser sold the car in November 1955, and has remained in the same family ownership since 1957, coming into the vendor�s possession in 1971. Preserved in completely original condition and offered with replacement (original) bonnet, it has covered only 44,547 miles from new and comes with fully documented history from delivery to the present day, including details of an engine rebuild in 1956. (It is interesting to note that the car had covered over 22,000 miles - half its total to date - by December of that year).
�PGB 505� has been MoT�d annually and comes with all expired certificates, while we are advised that no major work has been required during the current period of ownership and that the engine is �running well�. Offered with old-style logbook, current MoT and Swansea V5 registration document, �PGB 505� represents a rare opportunity to acquire an iconic first-of-the-line �Big Healey� boasting the desirable Le Mans kit and preserved in remarkably original condition
