The Austin-Healey 100 is
a sports car built between 1951 and 1959 by the British Motor
Corporation. It was developed by Donald Healey to be produced
in-house by Healey's company on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals.
Healey built a single "Healey 100" for the 1952 London Motor Show,
and the design impressed BMC, owner of Austin, so much that the firm
decided to bring production in-house.
The "100" name comes from Donald Healey, who named it after the fact
that this was one of the few cars of the era which could achieve 100
mph |
