About this car

This is a 1956 Austin-Healey BN2, one of only 165 right-hand-drive UK-market cars built. It left the factory in April 1956 and was supplied new by CG Norman Ltd in London SW1. It is not a factory-built 100M, but it carries several genuine 100M parts fitted later, including the carburettors, cams, distributor and air box.

The car was bought as a stalled restoration project in 2020 and restored from bare metal during the Covid lockdowns. The engine, gearbox and overdrive were rebuilt, and the chassis and bodywork were fully overhauled. The restoration is documented with photographs and a thick folder of invoices. It is finished in Old English White.

It has covered 1,737 miles since the work was completed. Paperwork includes a British Motor Heritage production record certificate, the original buff logbook and a current VSC. The car is MoT- and tax-exempt.
