Austin Healey 100/4 Parts

The Austin-Healey 100/4 is a classic British sports car produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) from 1953 to 1956. It is part of the “Big Healey” series, which includes larger, more powerful sports cars compared to the smaller Austin-Healey Sprite.

The Austin-Healey 100 was introduced in 1953 at the London Motor Show. The “100” in its name refers to the car’s top speed of 100 miles per hour.

The 100/4 was powered by a 2.6-liter (2,660 cc) four-cylinder engine. The engine, known as the Austin A90, was capable of producing around 90 horsepower.

The design of the 100/4 was a collaboration between the Healey Motor Company and BMC. The bodywork was crafted by Jensen Motors, and the overall design featured classic British roadster styling with a long hood, a compact two-seater cockpit, and a short rear end.

The Austin-Healey 100/4 paved the way for the development of subsequent Big Healey models, including the Austin-Healey 100/6 and the Austin-Healey 3000 series, which had six-cylinder engines.

The 100/4 gained recognition on the racing circuit, including success at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and other international races.
