Auction description:
Ascot Racecourse
March 3rd 2018
1954 Austin-Healey 100/4 BN1
Lot Number 273
Registration 590 UYY
Chassis Number BN1L 154920
Engine Number 1B213019M
Odometer reading 18,087 miles
Estimate £50,000 - £60,000

This completely original, matching numbers, Austin- Healey 100/4 was supplied new in California, USA to the one and only owner who passed away early last year. Letters from the lawyers who dealt with the estate also confirm that the mileage of just over 18,000 miles is also correct. The importer and vendor purchased the car directly from the deceased wife and brought the car to the UK. Now UK registered, this 100/4 has the original paintwork in red with black interior and black weather equipment and is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in October 2018, the original handbook, a photograph of the original owner and file containing old Californian registration documents and letters from the lawyers regarding the history of the car. This is a very rare opportunity to buy a very low mileage, original 100/4 BN1 which drives very well and is eligible for a number of international classic car events including the Mille Miglia and would be welcome at club events as well at Goodwood or Bicester Sunday breakfasts.
