Our BN4 meets the crowd at Gaydon

This week, we had the pleasure of sending one of our pride-and-joy classics — our beautifully maintained 1957 Austin-Healey BN4 — to a very special event: the Gaydon Gathering at the British Motor Museum.

Representing our team was Ryan, a valued member of our sales department and a passionate enthusiast for all things classic and British. With perfect weather, a great crowd, and a car that turns heads wherever it goes, it was a night to remember.

Shared appreciation of classic motoring

The Gaydon Gathering is a relaxed, community-driven event that brings together vintage car lovers from across the country. Set against the backdrop of one of the UK’s finest automotive museums, the evening was filled with stories, admiration, and the shared appreciation of automotive heritage.

Our Austin-Healey BN4, with its elegant lines, polished chrome and throaty exhaust note, drew a steady stream of admirers — even parked close to a striking red Austin-Healey and a light-blue first-generation Ford Mustang.

Built in 1957, this classic sports car is a shining example of British craftsmanship from the golden age of motoring. Whether it was longtime enthusiasts reminiscing or curious newcomers learning about the marque for the first time, the BN4 made quite the impression.
