1955 Austin Healey 100M

This was one of the competitors in the Pre-1961 Sports & GT Cars Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2011.

It's the 1955 Austin Healey 100M of Robert Rawe, chassis BN1 227598, and has the 4-cylinder inline 2,660cc engine that powered the unsuccessful Austin A90 Atlantic. OSJ 919 was originally a basic Austin Healey 100 BN1, but during a restoration between 2001 and 2009 it was brought up to 100M specifications.
