Offered for sale is a truly rare example of a 1954 RHD Austin Healey 100-M, delivered new to Henlys Limited in Bristol, VIN# BN1 159305. This is a converted M, with the correct steel 100-M hood and larger SU HD6 1 ¾” carbs ( with correct part numbers and etched numbers ), special intake manifolds, heavy sway bar, special distributor, among other things. ( it is missing the original air box ) Only a few hundred RHD Austin Healey 100 models were produced for the UK market, with just a handful being converted to 100-M spec. A Heritage Trust Certificate comes with the sale, listing the build date of July 19, 1954 and original color scheme of Carmine red with red interior. This Healey has been in long term storage, is very complete, and is in overall good restorable original condition. The chassis has some rust in the common areas of the floors, outriggers, and rockers. This car is being sold as a 100/M conversion. We do not believe this is a factory produced M, and are not representing it as one of the 640 factory cars. We cannot be sure of when the conversion was done, or by whom, but appears to have been done early in the cars life. A UK market RHD 100 is a rare sight for sure, let alone one that was brought to 100-M spec. This conversion could have been done at Healey's at the Cape, but there is no way to know for sure. Any Healey 100 that is an original RHD home market car is exceedingly difficult to find, especially in this unrestored condition. Do not miss out on your opportunity to own this exceptional automobile. Call or email with questions. Thank you for viewing , good luck and happy bidding !!
