1956 Austin Healey 100/ 4, BN2, 2660cc, Overdrive, Uprated to M-Spec

Matching numbers car. Originally sold in Texas and brought to the UK from California in 1990.

This beautiful car comes with a vast amount of history including Heritage certificate, a bill for full Engine rebuild by Sigma Engineering in Gillingham Dorset in 2016 to bring to M spec for £6300 and Gearbox rebuild in Aug 2019 by TT racing Ltd for £2800, not to mention a large box folder of history dating right back, a beautiful original service book. Also included in the history is an American newspaper cutting and a hand written letter saying how this vehicle at some point in its life may have been part of Steve McQueens collection (but not much else to back this up) Interesting though.

Been with the previous owner since 2011 as part of a collection, due to ill health I purchased the remaining 4 classics. From the condition his old girls were kept in, it was clear to see his love and passion ran very deep. A few years back he drove this gem down to Italy to the prestigious Mille Miglia Road Race as a spectator car.

Brought up to M spec with a Denis Welch Aluminium Cylinder Head no C4010.

M-specification includes;
Full engine overhaul with M spec pistons, dynamic balance of crankshaft, con rods, flywheel and clutch, upgraded to aluminium cylinder head, H6 M spec carburettors with aluminium cold air box, heavy-duty rose jointed clutch linkage, multi blade cooling fan, louvered bonnet with le mans style leather strap, uprated shock absorbers, uprated anti-roll bar

Overdrive

Wet weather gear and tonneau cover included.

Drove around 30 miles back to the showroom and didn't miss a beat. Very responsive and a pleasure to drive.
