1956 Austin Healey

Description

Signature Classics are delighted to present this exceptional 1956 Austin-Healey 100/4 M, one of only 160 factory-built examples produced and now upgraded to highly desirable 100/4 Le Mans specification.

Presented in outstanding condition throughout, this is a truly special example of one of the most iconic British sports cars of the 1950s. The bodywork, paint, chrome and brightwork are all beautifully presented, while the interior is equally impressive, showing just how well cared for this car has been over the years.

The Austin-Healey 100M is one of the most sought-after variants in the Healey range, combining rarity, performance and timeless styling. With only 160 examples built, opportunities to purchase one are few and far between, particularly one presented to this standard.

This car benefits from the desirable Le Mans specification upgrades, giving it both enhanced performance and a more purposeful character. Technical highlights include:

1 3/4 inch carburettors
Reprofiled camshaft
High-compression pistons
Special inlet manifolds
Auto advance distributor
Steel-faced cylinder head gasket
Factory race-type anti-roll bar
Special setting front shock absorbers
Derrington side exhaust and manifold
Long-range fuel tank

The result is a car that not only looks stunning, but performs exactly as an Austin-Healey of this calibre should. It starts instantly on the button, pulls strongly through the rev range and delivers an incredible soundtrack through the Derrington side exhaust.

Paired with the desirable manual gearbox and overdrive, this Healey offers a wonderfully engaging driving experience, whether on a spirited country road or touring over longer distances.

Included with the sale is a hard top roof, adding versatility and further enhancing the car’s appeal.
