100
Sponsored article presented by eBay Motors.
This 1954 Austin-Healy 100-4 was restored sometime in the 1990s, and has more recently been "refreshed in areas needing attention to make it a sound reliable driver" in 2018 and 2019.
The Austin-Healey 100 was based on the Austin A90 Atlantic and shared many comments such as a 2.6-liter, inline-four engine plus the double-wishbone front and solid axle rear suspensions.
Reported to be capable of 100 mph (hence the name "100"), you can find this clean-looking Austin-Healey on eBay Motors for $42,500.

The Healey 100 is my favourite big Healey. Great styling and although the engine is pretty nasty (worm eaten port sizes, heavy as hell and a rev limit of a heady 4500 rpm) and inadequate brakes, on the straight they hauled like trains - top speed with windscreen down was between 105 and 110 mph
When prepared right, they can be great fun and the best looking car on the track.....
