FOR SALE: 1956 Austin-Healey 100M - Fitted new by the factory with the full 'Le Mans Package'
Your route to the Mille Miglia centenary.
With the Mille Miglia celebrating its centenary in 2027, opportunities to enter the event in a genuinely significant, competition-derived sports car are becoming increasing
This 1956 Austin-Healey 100M offers exactly that: a genuine factory-built Le Mans package car, and importantly, Mille Miglia eligible.
Only 640 factory 100Ms were produced between 1955 and 1956. Developed directly from Austin-Healey’s competition programme, the 100M brought proven racing developments to the road, including a high-compression engine, high-lift camshaft, larger carburettors, cold-air box and uprated suspension.
Chassis BN2-L/232852 was built in May 1956 and is confirmed by its BMIHT certificate as a genuine factory 100M. Originally built in left-hand-drive North American export specification, it retains its matching-numbers configuration and was comprehensively restored by JME Healeys in 2017, with approximately 1,012 hours of work and £114,000 invested.
Since 2019, it has formed part of a significant UK collection and is accompanied by an extensive history file, restoration invoices, approximately 350 restoration photographs and a FIVA Identity Card.
For those looking for an exciting and financially compelling route into the Mille Miglia, this represents a particularly interesting proposition. A rare factory-built 100M with genuine event eligibility and the opportunity to take part in the centenary Mille Miglia in 2027.
