History: This Austin Healey 100 BN2 left the factory in 1956 in the United States and arrived in France in 2008. It is now in the care of its current owner, who acquired it between 2023. The condition of this Austin Healey is exceptional: after its second restoration between 2022 and 2023, it has only taken part in one race, the Le Mans Classic. It should be noted that the vehicle is accompanied by a large file of invoices and a photo file detailing each stage of the restoration - from the chassis to the return to service - it has exemplary traceability, attesting to the quality of the work carried out.

Condition:

Restoration: This model benefited from a complete restoration between 2010 and 2011, the work on which was carried out by specialist workshops. The bodywork and upholstery were entrusted to Cecil Cars Automobiles, renowned for their expertise in classic vehicles. The Harper workshop carried out the mechanical refurbishment.
Since 2014, WG British Racing has been regularly monitoring the vehicle, providing maintenance and technical support. Finally, in 2022 and 2023, this Austin Healey underwent further bodywork and paintwork, along with a complete engine restoration.
Current specification: This Austin Healey 100 BN2 has been configured for competition with a racing interior featuring brand new Tillett B6 FIA bucket seats and Sparco FIA 6-point harnesses for maximum safety. It is fitted with a Teleflex fuel gauge and a new Derrington Motolita 15-inch leather steering wheel. A black-lacquered 4-point roll bar completes its preparation, ensuring protection and compliance for historic races. The vehicle is fitted with a VH Trip Classic Tripmaster, essential for regularity rallies.

Exterior: The bodywork has been completely rebuilt, with aluminium front and rear panels, enhanced by separator strips. The rocker panels, floorboards and wheel arches are in excellent condition. It is fitted with a reconditioned period Hard Top, providing a rare and authentic complement for purists. The British Racing Green paintwork has been completely redone, with meticulous preparation and a carefully applied lacquer, providing a high-quality finish. The mirrors, wheels and headlights are also in perfect condition.

Interior: The cabin is in excellent condition, with new seats offering optimum support. The interior trim, including that of the transmission tunnel, is in excellent condition, as are the carpets. Thermal insulation has been fitted to the apron and floorboard on the driver's side, enhancing driving comfort. The dashboard, which matches the British Racing Green colour of the bodywork, is in very good condition and houses a full set of fully functional Smith instrumentation.

Mechanical aspects: This Austin Healey 100 BN2 has benefited from a complete overhaul of the engine and gearbox, using Denis Welch parts. It also benefited from a complete overhaul of the running gear and braking system, ensuring optimum roadholding. The gearbox works perfectly, offering smooth shifts, and the engine revs up sharply without any abnormal noise. Oil pressure is stable, both at idle and under load.
