350 V8–Powered 1954 Austin-Healey 100 BN1 Roadster

The car is finished in green over black vinyl, with power provided by a 350ci Chevrolet V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. A 2×4? steel-tube frame supports a removable body with metal modifications that include a lengthened front shroud and cockpit, fender flares, a hood scoop, NACA-style ducts, and a custom aluminum hardtop. Equipment includes rack-and-pinion steering, electronic ignition, a Holley carburetor, an aluminum radiator and an auxiliary radiator, electric fans, disc brakes, sway bars, and racing seats. The body is finished in dark green with white roundels and features a color-keyed removable aluminum hardtop along with all-metal modifications that include a hood scoop, fender flares, fender-top NACA-style ducts, and a front shroud lengthened 4? to accommodate two additional chrome grilles and a lip spoiler. Other features include quarter-panel, front fender, and hood louvers as well as rear bumper bars and side pipes with boxed and vented heat shields. The previously adjustable windscreen has been fixed at 37 degrees of tilt. Wheel Vintiques Street Rod 15? wire wheels are fitted with custom Cragar-branded knock-off caps and Goodyear Eagle GT II tires. The braced 2×4? steel-tube frame features front and rear kick-ups in support of suspension components that include front control arms with coilovers as well as rack-and-pinion steering, disc brakes, and sway bars. The cabin—which has been lengthened by 3? to accommodate a lower, more reclined seating position—features black vinyl Kirkey racing seats with red five-point RJS Racing harnesses. The hardtop is underpinned by a removable roll bar and features a painted Union Jack in lieu of a headliner, while the inside firewall is lined with Dynamat Xtreme heat insulation.
