1955 Austin Healey BN1 SOLD

This home market right hand drive example was built on 9th February, 1955.
It spent some time in England before being exported to Melbourne Australia and eventually finding its way to New Zealand in 1961 being purchased by a Mr. James McKinlay who resided at the Trentham Hotel Wellington.

In 1978 the car passed to John Whiting and from there it passed through two other ownerships, a Mr. Ashley Thomas and John Milligan.

It carried the very distinctive registration number of LM 1955. During Mr. Milligan's ownership a restoration started in 1980 and was completed in 1990 with an accompanying photograph album showing the works carried out, including a complete engine rebuild, gearbox rebuild, bare metal Re-spray, interior re-trim in Connolly Leather and numerous other components.

The car remained in New Zealand for approximately 9 years before returning to the UK where it was registered on the 1 April 1999. The Healey formed part of a private collection before being purchased by our vendor. In 2014 the Healey was with Murray Scott Nelson where the gearbox was removed, stripped for assessment by Hardy Engineering and reassembled with new components as necessary (receipt on file for £2, 532).

This beautifully presented 100/ 4 is accompanied with a comprehensive history including the aforementioned photograph album and documentation from New Zealand, a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate and previous MOTs.

100/ 4's are eligible for some of the most prestigious rallies and sporting events throughout the world and this example, with a comprehensive history and restoration makes this a highly collectable example. V5C, MOT and tax exempt.
