Story
The Austin-Healey 100/4 is a classic sports car produced by the British automaker Austin-Healey from 1953 to 1956.
The car was introduced at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show in London as a prototype, and it immediately generated a lot of interest from the public.
The 100/4 was designed by Donald Healey, who was an experienced racing driver and car designer.
The car was built on a steel chassis and featured a sleek aluminum body with distinctive styling.
It was powered by a 2.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produced 90 horsepower, which was quite impressive for a car of its size and era.
The Austin-Healey 100/4 was designed as a sports car, and it certainly lived up to that reputation.
It was fast, agile, and responsive, and it quickly became popular with racing enthusiasts and weekend drivers alike.
The car's handling was superb, thanks to its independent front suspension and live rear axle, and its brakes were effective and reliable.
In 1955, the Austin-Healey 100/4 underwent some minor revisions, including the addition of a four-speed manual transmission and a more powerful engine that produced 100 horsepower.
The car was also offered in a new "100M" version, which featured a more aggressive camshaft and a higher compression ratio, resulting in even more power.
The Austin-Healey 100/4 was a very successful car for its time, and it helped establish Austin-Healey as a major player in the sports car market.
It was also a very influential car, as it inspired many other automakers to produce similar sports cars in the years that followed.
Today, the Austin-Healey 100/4 is considered a classic car, and it is highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts around the world.
Its distinctive styling, powerful engine, and excellent handling make it a true icon of the golden age of sports cars.
