Austin Healey 100/4

As Donald Healey began looking for ways to expand his business in 1952, Leonard Lord (of the British Motor Corporation’s Austin division) was searching for a way to spruce up his line. The name Austin Healey was born when Leonard Lord saw that Donald Healey’s prototype car at the London Motor Show was based off the Austin A90 design. The original A90 prototype eventually became the Austin Healey 100/4, a clean and affordable sporty car. American enthusiasts were quick to support this car, firmly establishing Austin-Healey’s reputation.
