About the 1953 Austin-Healey 100

Donald Healey's collaboration with Austin created one of Britain's most beloved sports cars, launching at the 1952 London Motor Show to instant acclaim. The 100's clean lines housed a robust 2.7-liter Austin A90 engine producing 90 horsepower, enough to achieve the magic 100 mph that gave the car its name. Built at Longbridge with traditional British craftsmanship, the 100 established the template for affordable sports car performance that would define the marque. With 14,634 examples produced over four years, the standard 100 remains relatively accessible compared to its high-performance siblings. The three-speed transmission and live rear axle provide an authentic 1950s driving experience, while the flowing bodywork penned by Gerry Coker remains timelessly elegant. Clean, matching-numbers examples continue appreciating as collectors recognize the 100's significance in sports car history.
