"Austin-Healey 100M" (1955)
The Austin-Healey 100M is the embodiment of British sports car
elegance and performance blending style with thrilling road dynamics.
The 100M, an upgraded version of the original Austin-Healey 100, was
created for enthusiasts seeking more power and racetrack capability from
their roadster. With its low, sleek bodywork and distinctive grille, the
100M was both striking and purposeful.
Under the bonnet was a 2.6-litre inline-four engine
producing 110bhp, an increase from the standard 100 model. This
power boost, achieved through high-compression pistons, larger
carburettors, and a special camshaft, allowed the 100M to reach speeds of
over 120mph, an impressive feat for its time. The car's suspension was
also upgraded for sharper handling, making it a joy to drive on winding
roads and racing circuits.
The 100M's two-tone paintwork and lightweight body crafted from a mix of
steel and aluminium give it a timeless appeal. Its reputation for both
elegance and speed was cemented when it competed in endurance events
such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, making the 100M a sought-after
collector's car today. The Austin-Healey 100M is a shining example of
1950s British motoring at its finest.
