1953 Austin-Healey 100

The Austin-Healey 100-4 BN1 roadster was such a hit at London’s 1952 Earl’s Court Motor Show that it soon went into production as a strong competitor to the MG sports car.
This was the first time Healey produced a car which broke the hundred-mile-an-hour barrier,
hence the designation ‘100.’
This model was made with a four-cylinder, extremely powerful engine, which Austin had previously used on trucks and London taxi cabs.
What is most interesting about this model is the folding windshield, which decreased aerodynamic drag and increased the top speed from 102 to 111 miles per hour.

This example is an original California car in Old English white with blue interior and blue top.
It has its original 48 spoke wire wheels and a 3 speed transmission.
The car has no radio and does not have roll-up windows or door handles.
The front windshield folds down flat.
