1954 Austin Healey 100

This car took part in the HSCC Pre '60 Historic Sports Car Championship  race at the HSCC Spring Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1986.
It's Andrew Usher's 1954 Austin Healey 100. Two versions of the Austin Healey 100 were produced from 1953 to 1956, the BN1 from 1953 to 1955 and the BN2 from 1955 to 1956, the main difference being that the BN2 had a four-speed gearbox instead of the three-speed of the BN1. Both the BN1 and BN2 were powered by the 2,660cc 4-cylinder inline engine of the unsuccessful Austin A90 Atlantic. Logically Andrew Usher's car should be a BN1 model, but the two-tone paintwork was only introduced with the BN2.
