The Austin-Healey 100 was launched at the 1952 Motor Show with a body built by the Donald Healey Motor Company and the Austin engine that had previously been used in the A90 Atlantic and light trucks. With its four-cylinder engine, early models now tend to be known as the Austin-Healey 100-4. The first major change occurred in 1956 when the four-cylinder engine was replaced by a six-cylinder engine. While smoother, the 100-6 was heavier and slower than its predecessor. The interior was also redesigned and the wheelbase increased slightly to allow two additional small seats, named the 2+2 layout. In 1959, the six-cylinder engine was upgraded and the Austin-Healey classic 3000 was born.

The Austin-Healey 100 was a huge success on both sides of the Atlantic and is still considered one of the most desired of the British classics.
