History
This Austin Healey 100-4 fitted with a Le Mans kit was first registered in the United States in 1956. It arrived in France in 2009 and has remained in the hands of its current owner ever since. Converted into a 'Le Mans' version, it now sports a sportier look. Since its arrival in France, the car has undergone extensive mechanical and cosmetic work to ensure that it remains in irreproachable condition. An extensive file of invoices tracing the car's history is available on request.
Conditions
The overall condition of the car is excellent.
Exterior
The car's bodywork presents itself extremely well. The alignments are good and the black paintwork offers good depth, with no noticeable flaws. The black soft top is in exemplary condition, as are the side screens.
The louvred bonnet, typical of the 'Le Mans' version, looks extremely good and gives the car a sportier appearance. The 72-spoke wheels are in excellent condition, as are the headlights and rear-view mirrors, which complement the overall look. The car is also fitted with additional long-range 'Lucas' lights.

Interior
The interior of this British roadster has been completely refurbished, offering an impeccable presentation. The red leathers are in perfect condition, with the exception of a very slight blemish on the back of the driver's seat. The upholstery is tight and comfortable, reflecting the quality of the workmanship, while the wooden Moto-Lita steering wheel, typical of sports cars of the period, is perfectly preserved. The on-board instruments are all functional.
Mechanical
The perfectly maintained 4-cylinder engine revs well and delivers all its power. It is mated to a 4-speed gearbox with overdrive, offering smooth, well-guided gear changes. A reinforced clutch was fitted just over 3,000 km ago. The car's handling is balanced and dynamic, offering a sporty and pleasant driving experience. The current owner has also fitted the car with front disc brakes and electronic ignition.
Underbody : The underpinnings of the car are sound and free from corrosion. Photos are available on request.
