The Austin Healey 100-4 was the car that started it all.
First revealed in 1952, the 100-4 combined sleek styling with genuine performance, helping establish Austin Healey as one of the defining names in British sports cars. Designed by Donald Healey and built in partnership with Austin, it delivered exactly what post-war enthusiasts wanted: speed, simplicity, and open-top driving at its best.
Power came from a 2.6 litre four-cylinder engine, giving the car its “100” name thanks to its ability to reach 100mph, an impressive figure for the time. Lightweight, low-slung, and unmistakably purposeful, the 100-4 quickly earned a reputation both on the road and in motorsport.
What made the car special was its balance. It had the raw character of a true sports car, but enough refinement to make long-distance touring just as enjoyable.
Today, the Austin Healey 100-4 remains one of the most recognisable British classics ever built. Elegant, mechanical, and full of personality.
