Description
Austin Healey 100/ 4M “Le Mans” BN2, 1956, RHD, that was imported from England on the 50’s by a Greek businessman and gentleman racing driver.
As soon as the car arrived in Greece it started participating in races and hill climbs where it was classified on the first places overall in many of them.
It is an M specifications engine Austin Healey 100/ 4 with the characteristic louvres bonnet and a little later were installed
the 4 disc brakes, which were standard on the racing Austin Healey 100 S, but also were worn by extremely few Austin Healey 100/ 4M at the time. Even today the Austin Healey 100/ 4Μ with 4 disc brakes are extremely few!
It also has the four speed manual transmission with Overdrive.
If this wonderful car could talk, it would have to tell us endless stories from the racing tracks it had run.
In the past the car’s color was not the original white, as it was painted for a long period with a very nice light blue metallic color.
From mid 80’s to 1997 the car was out of action. On 1997 it underwent a light restoration, it was repainted in its original white color with red interior and took part in a few historic rallies until 2002. Since then the car has been permanently in its garage.
Αlthough it was in a satisfactory condition, the previous owner decided to do a complete restoration and now it is disassembled with absolute order by a very experienced restorer and will be assembled during its easy restoration.
Its condition is as in the photos with its white color before to be disassembled. The prospective buyer will not be subject to the cost of dismantling the car before the reconstruction as this is already done.
