Austin-Healey 100

Built and first registered in 1955, this Austin Healey 100 (VSK 174) is a well-presented example with an intriguing history which is not fully complete but could provide an interesting story with more research. The car spent many years on the Isle of Jersey and is UK registered. 

The current owner has letters and correspondence that links the vehicle to Austin-Healey works driver, Lance Macklin. Having been lent to him by the then owner, Lady Montague-Browne. A 1993 note from Denis Welch describes the car as a 100M. While it is unclear whether it is a factory M or later upgraded, the vehicle now features key 100M components including a cold air box, 1¾ inch SU carburettors, long inlet manifolds, and a leather bonnet strap. Engine internals have not been confirmed but performance is strong.

The car has seen limited use in recent years, was serviced in 2021, and has been stored in our care for the past 18 months. It may benefit from light recommissioning. The seller is open to selling the vehicle as seen or prepared to current MOT standards. 

Finished in red with a nicely patinated interior, this Healey offers excellent road manners, strong torque, and classic British charm. An ideal opportunity for an enthusiast to enjoy or further enhance a car with character and potential provenance.
