Regular entrant to the Woodcote Trophy, Tour Auto, Equipe GTS and Modena Cento Ore benefiting from an engine rebuild by Rawles a few races ago.

Restored between 2001 and 2009, this Austin-Healey 100 was acquired by the previous owner in 2008 and had over £100,000 spent on race/rally preparation and maintenance during his ownership. The car has competed in many Woodcote Trophy events, achieving numerous class podiums and has taken part in various editions of the Tour Auto, being driven back to the UK on both occasions. It has also participated in the Modena Cento Ore and many Equipe GTS events and been driven to Zandvoort and back having secured a class podium. The previous owner used John Chatham to rebuild the engine in 2019 and the current owner tasked Rawles Motorsport to rebuild the engine recently (c £50,000) and the car has only raced a few times in Equipe GTS since the rebuild.

Prepared to the highest standards by TTP Performance, the Healey is described as ready to go having competed earlier this year. Accompanying documentation consists of sundry restoration invoices, a V5C and FIA/HTP papers valid until the end of 2025.

Donald Healey always envisioned his new 100 sports car as being totally versatile, race at Silverstone one weekend, enjoy a rally in Belgium the next and drive home afterwards, which is exactly the level of versatility on offer here some 70 years later.

Estimated very sensibly in our opinion, when you consider what it would take to replicate and the potential access to some of the best historic motorsport, we welcome and encourage your inspection at the Silverstone Festival.
