Developed by Donald Healey to be produced in house by Healey at Warwick, and based on the running gear of the Austin A90 Atlantic. Donald Healey produced a one of show car for the 1952 British Motor Show, the design so impressing Austin Managing Director, Leonard Lord that a deal was struck to build the car in quantity at the Austin Longbridge plant, with finishing and trimming completed by Jensen at West Bromwich. The 100/4 shared the same engine and manual transmission as the Austin A90 Atlantic but the transmission was modified to be a three-speed unit with overdrive on second and top. Girling drum brakes are fitted all round. Front suspension is independent using coil springs and at the rear is a rigid axle with semi elliptic leaf springs. The steering is by a cam and lever system. The 100M is a high performance variant of the 100/4 introduced in 1955 with larger carburettors, a cold air box to increase engine air flow, high-lift camshaft and 8.1:1 compression pistons. It produced 110 bhp. The front suspension was stiffened and the bonnet gained louvres, along with a bonnet belt. Approximately 70% of 100Ms were finished with a two-tone paint scheme, this kit could be ordered from BMC, allowing private owners to make their own modifications Diolch am 95,887,718 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr.
