The Famous Ex-John Chatham Healey "SAL 75"

Registration No: SAL 75
Chassis No: BN 13891
MOT: Exempt

One of the most historically significant Austin-Healey 100/4s, extensively developed and raced to championship success by renowned tuner and racer John Chatham, with period competition pedigree and widespread recognition within Healey circles
Exceptional provenance and continuous long-term ownership, including a documented period restoration, over 30 years in the same family, and a rich, continuous history spanning more than six decades
Highly developed, Chatham-engineered performance specification, featuring a de-tuned road variant of John Chatham’s highly regarded La Carrera Panamericana diesel-block engine, delivering a remarkable 177bhp and an exceptionally engaging driving experience

Launched in 1953, the Austin-Healey 100/4 stands among the most iconic British sports cars of the post-war era, representing the purest expression of Donald Healey’s vision for a fast, affordable, and competition-capable road car. Introduced in 1955 as the final and most developed iteration of the original “100” series, the BN2 benefited from a number of important mechanical improvements over its predecessor, most notably the adoption of a four-speed gearbox with overdrive. Powered by a robust, torque-rich four-cylinder engine and clothed in a beautifully balanced, low-slung body, the 100/4 quickly established itself as both an accomplished road car and a highly capable competition machine. Today, it remains one of the most sought-after and charismatic sports cars of its era.
