Description

AUSTIN HEALEY 100/ 4M Le Mans BN2, 1956, RHD, with 4 disc brakes, that was bought in England on 1956 by a Greek gentleman driver who raced it there for a long period, before to bring it in the sunny Greece.
As soon as the car arrived in Greece, it was participating in races and hill climbs where it was classified on the first places in most of them.
If this wonderful car could talk, it would have to tell us endless stories from the racing tracks it had run.
The car had from the beginning of its release the drum brakes, but very soon it was fitted with the 4 big disc brakes which were standard on the factory racing Austin Healey 100 S, but also were worn by extremely few Austin Healey 100/ 4M which were racing at the time. Even today the Austin Healey 100/ 4Μ with 4 disc brakes are extremely few. It was fitted with the M “Le Mans” specifications engine kit as with the so characteristic louvres bonnet of the 100/ 4M cars. It also has the four speed manual transmission with Overdrive.
I bought this car on the late 70’s and from then I had some wonderful years driving it almost every day. I sold it after some years and I bought it again recently. I met the first owner two years ago as I spoke with him quite often and he told me again about his old racing times with this Austin-Healey 100M in England and Greece. He was already very old. In the past the car’s color was not the original white, but a very nice light blue metallic.
From mid 80’s to 1997 the car was out of action. On 1997 it underwent a light restoration, it was repainted in its original white color with red interior and took part in a few historic rallies until 2002. Since then the car has been permanently in its garage.
Its condition is as in the last photos with its white color. It has been disassembled with absolute order by a very experienced restorer and will be assembled during its easy restoration.
Almost there is no rust except in very few points. It had few previous owners according its age of 70 years !
In addition a very nice black Hardtop accompanies the car.
It is a real choice for the fans of the unique in beauty Austin Healey 100/ 4 and this sports car is very special in its own right.
Its many advantages are:
-It is a BN2 100/ 4M Le Mans.
-It has a great Racing History.
-It has the 4 Disc brakes. Of those that were racing, the fewest have them.
-It is original RHD.
-A few previous owners.
-Accompanied by a nice Hardtop.
-Its very low price!
Now awaits its restoration by its next lucky owner or connoisseur who would like to restore this racing Austin Healey 100/ 4M “Le Mans” appreciating the car’s glorious racing past and beauty and who wants to purchase a wonderful purebred sports car from the golden age of motoring, but for a very reasonable price!
An Austin Healey 100/ 4M with all the above advantages and completely restored has the highest price that can exist for these cars.
In addition, this car is the best ticket for anyone who wants to take part in the most famous historic car race "Mille Miglia" in Italy with cars produced until 1957.
