1956 Austin-Healey 100 BN2 � 100M Tribute
A rare opportunity to own a truly special 1956 Austin-Healey 100 BN2, beautifully modified to 100M Tribute specifications. This exceptional example has a fascinating history, originally sold new in Hong Kong before being imported to California in 1959. In the early 1970s, it found a long-term home with a Professor in Arizona, where it remained cherished and preserved for decades until our acquisition. Throughout its life, it has been meticulously maintained, and today, it stands as an original, rust-free example that embodies the spirit of classic British motoring.
During the 1990s, this Healey was sympathetically restored and upgraded to 100M specifications with a range of period-correct modifications. Under the hood, the original engine was enhanced with high-performance pistons, a hotter camshaft, twin SU carburetors, and the signature cold airbox, giving it the power and character of the legendary factory-built 100M models. The classic louvered hood with a leather hold-down strap was added, along with a stainless steel exhaust system to enhance both aesthetics and performance.
The driving experience is further elevated with a four-speed manual transmission and electric overdrive, making it an absolute joy on the open road. The wood-rimmed steering wheel provides the perfect vintage touch, while the chrome wire wheels and period-correct driving lights complete the iconic 100M look.
Beyond its mechanical and visual appeal, what makes this Austin-Healey truly special is its incredible documentation. Accompanying the car is an extensive file of original paperwork dating back to 1959, including correspondence from past owners, historic service records, and its British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate. It is rare to find an example with such a complete and continuous ownership history, making it a true collector's dream.
This Healey has always been a fair-weather car and does not include a top or side curtains, as it was never driven in conditions requiring them. However, it does come with its tonneau cover and an extra set of keys.
A beautifully preserved piece of 1950s British sports car history, this Austin-Healey 100 BN2 100M Tribute is a rare and exciting find for any enthusiast.
