This outstanding Healey 100/4 BN1 was purchased in 1954 by Norman Harris of Belham Garage, Halifax finished in Reno Red with a black interior piped in Red and at 600 miles he fitted the, dealer supplied, ‘Le Mans’ kit to improve performance. He kept detailed records, which accompany the Healey, up until he sold the car in 1983 at which point it passed into the hands of Mr Tony Howe, an MG salesman at Appleyards in Huddersfield who continued the care and attention provided by the previous owner and also kept detailed records of all service and repair work as and when required. Acquired by the present custodian in 2008, the 100/4 required some remedial work to meet his fastidious standards and so a full rebuild commenced starting with a new chassis and body panels all supplied by Steve Jowett at ‘UK Healey’. No stone was left unturned with all mechanical components receiving the same consideration as the remainder of the vehicle with the engine, gearbox and final drive all being rebuilt alongside all ancillaries and associated fixtures and fittings. The finish and attention to detail is outstanding with a recent 170-mile shakedown run completed without fault. An exemplary Healey 100/4 to ‘M’ Spec with a detailed and known history from day one is a rare thing indeed and worthy of your serious consideration.
