AUSTIN-HEALEY 100/4

The ‘big’ Healey, as it came to be known, was regarded as a step above Triumph and MG rivals when new, but a peg below the XK Jaguar. Comparing 2001 values for typical four-cylinder Healeys, MGAs and Triumph TR3s there wasn’t a lot of difference. Fast forward 16 years and the 100/4 has surged by a quite remarkable degree; top-class cars now right on the tails of lowerspec XKs and powering past the MG and Triumph. This car with history and those possibly original rego plates would be one to grab if it becomes available, or to hold and enjoy if you currently own it.
