Austin Healey, ,England. This Austin Healey was built at Jensen's West Bromwich works and then finished at Austin's Longbidge plant. The 2 seater roadster design was by Donald Healey who had originally planned to build it himself. The 100 was named because it could achieve 100mph and the /4 indicated it had 4 cylinders as opposed to the six cylinders of the /6. Originally built for the 1952 Motor Show, the 100/4 was produced commercially between 1953 and 1956. The 100/4 had a 4 cylinder 2.7 litre engine. The car used many mechanical parts from the Austin A90. There were a couple of versions of the 100/4, the BN1, the BN2 and the ill fated 100S that was involved in the 1955 Le Mans disaster.
