The seller offers for sale a 1953 Austin Healey 100M BN1, an iconic British roadster renowned for its timeless design and performance pedigree. This particular example retains its original 2.7L 4-cylinder engine, paired with its factory gearbox and overdrive. It has undergone thoughtful updates to enhance safety and reliability, such as a Denis Welch cylinder head, oil cooler, and electric cooling fan. Additional upgrades include a 12V battery, alternator (original generator included), and lowered suspension.

The body is in solid condition with the paintwork showing some patina consistent with its age. A small paint bubble on the lower passenger door and minor blemishes are noted, but no dents are visible. The car features a two-piece dashboard and a steel-louvered hood secured with a leather strap, adding to its vintage racing charm.

The interior is clean and well-maintained, with original carpets partially preserved. The seating provides a comfortable, authentic driving experience.

This 100M BN1 is a “home market” model and one of the few right-hand-drive examples in Germany. It includes the Le Mans Kit, boosting its historical and collector value. With its eligibility for Mille Miglia and documented history, this car represents an excellent opportunity for enthusiasts of classic British sports cars.
