A limited run of 25 Austin-Healey 100s will be handbuilt in Coventry by British brand Caton.
The company says it is bringing the classic sports car up to date, with modifications inside, outside and under the bonnet.
At first glance, the much-loved Healey line looks familiar, but there have been gentle changes. The bumpers have been removed, the grille redesigned, the front valance elongated, and the headlights revised and updated to accommodate LEDs and daylight running lamps.
Gone are the external boot hinges, replaced by internal hinges running on modern gas struts, while the boot’s handle has also been removed and an internal release mechanism added.

Caton says space has been increased in the cabin, but the redesign ‘wholly maintains the essence of the original’.
