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.
