This 1956 Austin-Healey 100M BN2 Roadster was built in October 1955 and is one of 640 100M examples produced over a 10-month span.
The car is finished in Carmine Red over black leather and powered by a numbers-matching 2,660cc inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
The 2,660cc inline-four was factory-rated at 110 horsepower and features twin SU HD6 carburetors, 8.1:1-compression pistons, a high-lift camshaft, and a cold-air box.
An oil change was carried out in November 2022.
The engine tag is stamped with 1B229028M, which matches the number listed on the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive.
The transmission was reportedly overhauled in 2007 by Fourintune.
A rotisserie-style bare-metal repaint in Carmine Red was carried out in 1999.
Equipment includes a black soft top, a fold-down windshield, chrome bumpers with overriders, grille badges, and a louvered hood with a leather tie-down.
Painted 15″ wire wheels with two-eared knockoffs are mounted with period-style Dunlap Classic Range Nylon tires.
Braking is handled by drums at all four corners.
The cabin is upholstered in black and the seats and transmission tunnel pad have been retrimmed in black leather with red piping.
Additional equipment includes a heater, rubber floor mats, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror.
The banjo-style steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer.
The five-digit odometer shows 28k miles, though total mileage is unknown.
