Description
Description
The Austin-Healey 100 was produced between 1953 and 1956, following its debut as the Healey Hundred at the 1952 London Motor Show. Developed by Donald Healey and styled by Gerry Coker, it combined Austin A90 mechanicals with elegant sports car styling. Following an agreement with Austin, production was undertaken using bodies built by Jensen Motors and mechanical components assembled at Austin's Longbridge factory. The model's name reflected its impressive ability to reach 100 mph, establishing the Austin-Healey as one of Britain's most iconic sports cars.
NHS 595 is a famous and highly decorated Austin Healey 100/4 BN2. The car has been a prominent fixture in historic European motorsport and is widely recognised within classic car circles. Upgraded to 'M' specification and featuring a 2,660cc four-cylinder Denis Welch engine, this impressive Healey was primarily raced by Nils-Fredrik Nyblaeus with support from premier Healey specialists. The car famously achieved a 1st in class and 7th overall in Plateau 2 at the prestigious Le Mans classic. Offered to auction with a V5 registration certificate and despite its exemption by age, an MoT test certificate valid until July 2027 and an impressive file of bills and receipts. This Austin Healey has both an impressive pedigree and for a new owner could be a cost effective way to go racing. Consigned by Dominic Lake
