Auction description:
1955 Austin-Healey 100M Roadster
Chassis No.
BN2L228392
Estimate: $125,000-$150,000 US
To be auctioned on
Saturday, March 13, 2010
As confirmed by its corresponding British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this factory-built, left-hand drive Austin-Healey 100M was completed on September 9, 1955, just four days after production of the model commenced. It was immediately shipped to the USA, and as a BN2 model, it was equipped with a four-speed gearbox and overdrive. Other original features included a heater, a laminated windscreen and the louvered bonnet characteristic of a factory-built 100M.
Today, it benefits from a fresh nut and bolt restoration completed over a three-year period by Fred’s Healey, a highly regarded marque specialist located in Edgewater, Florida. During the painstaking process, every part was restored and the paintwork was hand-rubbed to perfection. As offered today, this rare and iconic car is one of just 640 factory-built examples and comes complete with restoration photos, the original owner’s manual and a set of tools.
Addendum
Please note this car is titled as a 1956.
