List Yours $5 Just $299 This 1955 Austin-Healey 100S is one of 50 examples of the production alloy-bodied sports racer built in 1955 and was delivered new to the US through Royston Distributors in Philadelphia. Chassis AHS-3802 was campaigned in 1955 and 1956 by its first owners John and Evelyn Mull, the latter of which published a 1958 account of women in racing entitled Women in Sports Car Competition. The car was sold to its next owner in 1957 before being acquired by a Navy Commander, who brought it with him to New Zealand upon his reassignment in 1958. It remained in the country and was raced until the late 1970s before being relocated in 1981 to Australia, where it is said to have spent time on display in a museum before being entered in various vintage events through the late 1990s. The roadster was returned to the US in 2000 upon the current owner's acquisition and underwent a multi-year refurbishment by Fourintune Garages of Cedarburg, Wisconsin, in the early 2000s that involved a repaint replicating its factory white and blue paint scheme as well as a later rebuild of the 2.7-liter inline-four, which features an aluminum-alloy cylinder head. The car is further equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, Dunlop four-wheel disc brakes, and 15" painted wire wheels as well as a Perspex windscreen ahead of vented-back bucket seats trimmed in dark blue upholstery. It received FIVA certification in 2002 prior to being driven in the 2002, 2005, and 2006 runnings of the Mille Miglia Storica in Italy and has since competed in various vintage events in the US including the Colorado Grand, Texas 1000, Copperstate 1000, and California Mille road rallies. This 100S is now offered on dealer consignment with owner's manual, an ownership chronology, service records, spare parts, and a clean California title. CarsBuyText.com CarsBuyText.com
