1954 Austin-Healey 100-4 BN1 Roadster
The Austin-Healey 100 was a pivotal British sports car, marking the early success of the Austin-Healey brand. Introduced in 1953, the BN1 featured a four-cylinder engine from the Austin A90, producing 90 horsepower. Designed by Donald Healey and built in partnership with Austin, it combined performance and affordability. The BN1 had a three-speed transmission with overdrive, achieving a top speed of 100 mph, giving the model its "100" designation. Its sleek, low-slung design and unmatched racing pedigree made it popular among enthusiasts. Replaced by the BN2 in 1955, the BN1 remains an iconic classic, valued for its style and pure British driving experience.
A menacing example of the loved 100-4 BN1 Austin-Healey, this example is the recipient of a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration that has been prepped for vintage rallies and racing. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, BN1-L/150976 was completed January 20, 1954, and is said to have been purchased new by a U.S. serviceman in Belgium through Sogid Autos of Brussels. Finished in Carmine Red over a black upholstery, the same it wears today, it was delivered new with wire wheels, kph speedometer, heater, and dual S.U.-type H4 carburetors.
A participant of the 2020 Colorado Grand, it also retains its FIVA ID Card, No. 066139, which documents the modifications and historical significance of the vehicle and gives it national and international recognition, granting it access to exclusive tours and events. Most recently in 2024, a multi-point inspection was done, and an engine rebuild was completed.
The accompanying the sale of this sporting British roadster is a file folder of documents, complete weather equipment with side curtains and tonneau cover, jack, crank, spare tire, and emergency tools.
A truly versatile and menacing example for nearly any vintage automotive event, this particular 1954 Austin-Healey 100-4 BN1 offers many possibilities to its next caretaker, opening the door to exclusive events around the globe.
