Summary
In 1955, Donald Healey produced 50 sports cars that could be taken straight to the next race and thus had a good chance of winning their class. Although the racing cars cost almost twice as much as a normal Austin-Healey 100, they also had 40 hp more and a lighter and more streamlined body, which made the sports car 210 km/h fast. This report portrays the second series 100-S built in detail and tells the story of this exceptional sports car.

He was drawn to fast locomotion at an early age, flew missions in the First World War and opened his first garage shortly afterwards, in the meantime training as an automotive engineer by correspondence course. He became internationally renowned through his work for Invicta.
