1955 Austin-Healey 100/4 BN1 Roadster

The original Austin-Healey 100/4 was built from1953-56 and came in two variants: the early BN1 Series cars (10,030 built) with a three-speed transmission, and the later BN2 Series cars (4,604 built) with a four-speed transmission, both with overdrive.

Collectors and early Healey enthusiasts generally gravitate to the BN2 Series cars because of their reliable four-speed transmission. The BN2 also enjoyed other advantages over the BN1 such as improved front wheel bearings, wheel hubs and brakes, all of which enhanced reliability and maintainability.

All Austin-Healeys are good classic 'property' and are appreciating and very enjoyable assets when maintained properly.
