The Attractive AUSTIN-HEALEY 100 was a Hit at the 1952 Motor Show in London, leading to a Production Deal with BMC!!

Origin by UK
First manufactured in Year 1953 until 1957
Engine installed 2,660 cc Straight Four

Top speed of 106 mph (171 km/h); 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 11.2 secs

The final '100' models became 100-6s with the fitting of a smaller straight six engine & were the 2+2 BN4 of 1956 & the two-seater BN6 of 1958. These were marginally slower than the original four-cylinder 100s but offered better acceleration.
