This 1956 Austin-Healey BN2 is a factory 100M model that was built on April 12, 1956 and distributed new in the United States.
A restoration was performed in 1997 by Spyder Autowerks, and included reupholstering the cabin and repainting the exterior in its original color combination of Healey Blue and Ivory White.
The factory 2,660cc inline-four was also replaced with another 100M engine, and the electrical system was converted to 12 volt.
Other additions include a Weslake cylinder head and chrome wire wheels.
The car was refreshed again in 2007 by British Car Specialists.
The 100M was introduced in 1955 as a higher-performance version of the Austin-Healey BN2.
The model featured larger carburetors and a high-lift camshaft, as well as high-compression pistons and a number of other alterations that increased engine output from 90 to 110 horsepower.
It was also equipped with an upgraded anti-roll bar and a louvered bonnet secured by leather straps.
Just 640 examples of the 100M were produced in 1955 and 1956 at the Longbridge plant in Birmingham, England.
This car was delivered new finished in a Healey Blue and Ivory White duotone scheme, and was repainted in its original colors during the 1997 restoration.
Chrome wire wheels measure 15″ in diameter and are secured with two-ear knock-offs, and wear Vredestein Sprint Classic tires.
The cabin was originally trimmed in blue and was reupholstered during the restoration.
A plaque provided by the 100M Registry identifies the car as a factory-built example, and additional features include a rake-adjustable windshield, chrome emergency brake and passenger grab handles, and a fire extinguisher.
The wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel features a factory-style horn button and turn signal switch.
Smiths instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer and 6k-rpm tachometer, as well as gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level.
The five-digit odometer shows 16k miles.
