Austin Healey 100

I photographed this car at the Northern Classic Car Show at the G-Mex Centre in Manchester in August 1990.

It's an Austin Healey 100, possibly on the stand of the Austin Healey Club, and the rally plate on the front of the car seems to indicate that it took part in the Norwich Union Classic Car Rally in 1990. The Austin Healey 100 was designed by Donald Healey using using 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 Jenson Motors. The cars were produced from 1953 to 1956.
