Austin Healey 100 (2660cc) registered June 1955. Number 450. Ready to race at the Silverstone Classic 2022. Shown here besides this tasty 1960 Austin-Healy 3000 (#43).
1957 Austin Healey 100 (2600cc). Registered May 1957. Another fantastic race-ready Austin-Healey 100/4 at the 2022 Silverstone Classic event. The number of these old "Big Healeys" at the event is a true testament to their racing performance.
This beautiful Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 was originally built as a left-hand-drive model and exported to the USA. But it's been back in the UK for a while now, converted to right-hand-drive and restored in its original Colorado red. 2912cc. Fantastic car!
Wow what a car! I parked up next to this in Cornwall, UK this summer - the Austrian registered vehicle perhaps touring the UK? And touring in style! The Austin-Healey 100 was only produced between 1953 and 1956, and this one is in stunning condition. The model gets it's name from it's ability to reach 100mph. Quite a feat in the 1950s!
1955 Austin-Healey 100. 2660 cc. Registered May 1955. Austin-Healey 100 bodies were made by Jensen Motors in West Bromwich, then completed at Austin's Longbridge factory (Birmingham). 14,634 Austin-Healey 100s were produced between 1953 and 1956. Fantastic cars!
1955 Austin-Healey 100 (2660 cc). The Austin-Healey 100 was produced between 1953 and 1956 - at which point it was superseded by the Austin-Healey 100-6. This led to the original 4-cylinder Austin-Healeys sometimes being referred to as the 100-4 (or 100/4). Actually, these early 100s can be split into two phases: BN1 (1953-55) and BN2 (1955-56). These were visually rather similar, but the BN2 was the first to offer (optionally) the two-tone paint job as seen here.
Race-ready 1956 Austin-Healey 100 BN2 (2660 cc). Registered January 1956. #79. Photographed at Silverstone Classics 2022.
1960 Austin Healey 3000 mk1 BN7 with hardtop fitted. 2912cc. Cool car! Austin-Healey 3000 bodywork was built by Jensen, with final assembly at BMC's Abingdon plant (Oxfordshire), alongside various MG models. This race-ready example was photographed at the Silverstone Classics event in 2022.
1960 Austin-Healey 3000 (2912 cc), race-ready at Silverstone Classics event 2022. The Austin-Healey 3000 had a comparatively long production run spanning 1959-1967: this early example is a BN7 Mark1; built in November 1959, registered in 1960. Looking fab with its hardtop fitted. Absolutely lovely car! Shown here besides this 1955 Austin-Healey 100 with race number 450.
1960 Austin-Healey 3000 MkII (2912 cc) Another race-ready 'Big Healey' at the 2022 Silverstone Classic. Registered in August 1960.
