Austin Healey 100

I photographed this car at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy meeting at Oulton Park in June 1982.

It's a 1956 Austin Healey 100 with the 2,660cc 4-cylinder inline engine that had been used for the earlier Austin A90. Two versions of the Austin Healey 100 were produced, the BN1 from 1953 to 1955 and the BN2 from 1955 to 1956, the main difference being that the BN2 had a 4-speed gearbox instead of the 3-speed one of the earlier model. The car is chassis number 231197 and still exists, but it's now a metallic blue colour.
