Frequently Asked Questions about Classic Austin-Healey
Austin-Healey was created in 1952 through an agreement between Donald Healey, whose Donald Healey Motor Company was based in Warwick, England, and Leonard Lord of the Austin Motor Company. Healey showed his Healey Hundred prototype at the 1952 London Motor Show at Earls Court, Lord agreed to have Austin build it in volume, and the car was renamed the Austin-Healey 100. The name joined the two partners.
Donald Healey was the British rally driver and engineer whose sports car design became the first Austin-Healey. Born in 1898 in Perranporth, Cornwall, he won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1931 and became technical director at Triumph. He formed the Donald Healey Motor Company in Warwick in 1945, became chairman of Jensen Motors in 1970, and died in January 1988 at age 89.
Austin-Healeys were built in England. The first cars were assembled at Healey's own works in Warwick, and regular production of the 100 began at Austin's Longbridge plant in May 1953, using bodies supplied by Jensen Motors of West Bromwich. In late 1957 assembly moved to the MG factory at Abingdon, which went on to build the 3000 and the Sprite.
Austin-Healey was a marque of the British Motor Corporation, the group formed in 1952 by the merger of the Austin and Morris businesses. The Donald Healey Motor Company designed the cars under its agreement with Austin. BMC merged with Jaguar in 1966 and became British Motor Holdings, which merged with Leyland in 1968 to form British Leyland. British Leyland later ended its agreement with Healey.
The three Big Healeys differ mainly in their engines. The 100, built from 1953 to 1956, used a 2,660 cc four-cylinder making 90 bhp and was named for its ability to reach 100 mph. The 100-6 of 1956 switched to a 2,639 cc six-cylinder with 102 bhp and introduced 2+2 seating. The 3000 of 1959 enlarged the six to 2,912 cc and 124 bhp and added front disc brakes.
The 100S was a competition version of the Austin-Healey 100 built in 1955. Its 2,660 cc four-cylinder was tuned to 132 bhp, and it used Dunlop disc brakes on all four wheels. Sources differ on the total: some count 50 production cars, while others give 55 by adding five works cars. The 100M was a separate, milder model rated at 110 bhp.
The Bugeye is the first-generation Austin-Healey Sprite, built from 1958 to 1961. Announced at Monte Carlo on May 20, 1958, it was designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company, powered by a 948 cc BMC A-series four-cylinder and built at the MG factory in Abingdon. The nickname, Frogeye in Britain, came from headlights mounted on top of the hood. They were meant to retract, but the mechanism was dropped to save cost.
Austin-Healey 3000 production ended in December 1967, and the last cars to wear the Austin-Healey badge were 1970 Sprites. Specialist histories say the 3000 could not meet new United States safety and emissions standards. The Sprite continued, but after British Leyland ended its agreement with Healey the final 1,022 cars, built for 1971, were badged simply as Austin Sprites. Sprite production stopped that year.

Austin-Healey, born from a partnership between the Austin Motor Company and racing driver Donald Healey in 1952, produced a short but spectacular lineup of British sports cars. Despite a production run of just 20 years, Austin-Healeys have become some of the most coveted classic British cars.
Most Popular Classic Austin-Healey Models
The 3000 ("Big Healey") Mark I through III is the ultimate Austin-Healey, combining a powerful inline-six with muscular styling and impressive rally credentials. The 100-6 preceded the 3000 with its own refined character. The Sprite (the original "Bugeye" or "Frogeye") is one of the most charming and affordable classic sports cars, offering pure driving fun in a tiny, lightweight package.
