1954 Austin Healey 100/4

This car competed in the Equipe Pre '63 race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2018.
It's the 1954 Austin Healey 100/4 of Jim Campbell with a 4-cylinder inline 2,660cc engine. The Austin Healey 100 was designed by Donald Healey based on the 4 cylinder inline 2,330cc engine from an Austin A90 Atlantic. The single car Healey made was spotted at the 1952 London Motor Show by Leonard Lord, managing director of Austin, who reached an agreement with Donald Healey for the cars to be made by Austin with the bodies provided by Jensen Motors. The cars were produced from 1953 to 1956.
Here's the car at Druids Corner during the early morning practice session.
