PROUD SPECIALISTS IN AUSTIN HEALEY INSURANCE
AUSTIN HEALEY INSURANCE: SPECIALIST COVER FOR EVERY MODEL
Few names carry the romance of Austin Healey. Born from the partnership between Donald Healey’s engineering brilliance and the resources of the British Motor Corporation, the cars that carried the combined badge from 1952 to 1967 remain among the most cherished British sports cars ever made. Elegant, purposeful, and alive in a way that very few modern cars can replicate — an Austin Healey is not simply a classic car. It is a connection to the golden age of British open-top motoring.
Whether your Healey is a Big Healey — the 100, 100-6, or 3000 — or one of the much-loved Sprites, from the iconic Frogeye to the later Mk II, III, and IV, finding the right insurance requires more than a standard policy. Values have risen substantially over recent years. Parts are specialist. Repairs need the right hands. And the agreed value of your car needs to reflect what it is genuinely worth, not what a comparison website algorithm decides.
At Heritage, we’ve been arranging specialist classic car insurance since 1965. Our team understands the Vauxhall performance and classic market, the models, the values, the modifications, and the community built around them. We’ll work with you to find cover that fits your car and the way you use it, with the most competitive rate our panel of specialist insurers can offer.

AUSTIN HEALEY MODELS WE COVER
Heritage can arrange specialist insurance for the complete Austin Healey range, including all variants of the Big Healeys and Sprites:
The Big Healeys
- Austin Healey 100 / 100-4 (BN1, BN2) — the original Healey, first shown at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show; the car that put the partnership on the map
- Austin Healey 100M and 100S — the high-performance factory variants, of which the 100S in particular is exceptionally rare and valuable
- Austin Healey 100-6 (BN4, BN6) — the transition to six-cylinder power, produced from 1956 to 1959 at both Longbridge and Abingdon
- Austin Healey 3000 Mk I (BT7, BN7) — the original 3000, introduced in 1959 with the 2,912cc C-Series six-cylinder
- Austin Healey 3000 Mk II (BJ7) — the 2+2 configuration with wind-up windows and a revised dashboard; the model often considered the most usable daily driver of the range
- Austin Healey 3000 Mk III (BJ8) — the most powerful and refined of the Big Healeys; 148bhp, wood dashboard, and the model most sought after by collectors today
The Sprites
- Austin Healey Sprite Mk I — the original Frogeye, built from 1958 to 1961; one of the most characterful and distinctive sports cars of any era
- Austin Healey Sprite Mk II — the 1961 redesign with conventional bonnet and boot lid; shared with the MG Midget from this point forward
- Austin Healey Sprite Mk III and Mk IV — the later refinements to the Sprite formula, increasingly powerful and better equipped
- Jensen Healey — the early 1970s Healey-branded sports car produced in partnership with Jensen; welcome at Heritage and covered under our specialist classic policy
Not sure whether your model qualifies as a classic? Call our team on 0121 248 9229, if it’s a Vauxhall worth protecting, we can almost certainly arrange the right cover.
SAVE UP TO 25% WITH OUR MULTI-CAR COVER
Many Austin Healey owners run a modern daily driver alongside their classic. Keeping separate policies for each vehicle creates unnecessary complexity at renewal time — and often unnecessary cost.
With Heritage multi car insurance, you can bring your Austin Healey and any other vehicles onto a single policy, combining classic and modern cars under one renewal date and saving up to 25% in the process.
To talk to us about our multi car insurance, call the team on 0121 248 9229.
ADD OPTIONAL EXTRAS TO YOUR INSURANCE POLICY
Heritage has carefully selected a set of optional extras that make a real difference for classic car owners. Each one can be added to your policy for complete peace of mind.
Key protect
Covers the cost of replacement keys and locksmith call-outs if your keys are lost or stolen, for both your car keys and your home keys.
Motor legal cover
Covers legal costs that can arise from an accident on the road, including motor prosecution defence, uninsured loss recovery, and personal accident claim support.
Personal accident
Up to £50,000 of cover in the event of accidental death or serious injury, for you and your spouse, common law, or civil partner.
Most Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Heritage offers up to 15% discount for members of the Austin Healey Club. The club is one of the UK’s most active single-marque clubs, with regional centres covering Eastern England, the Midlands, the New Forest, Northern England, Southern Counties, the South West, and Thames Valley. Notably, the national club is headquartered in Halesowen, West Midlands, local to Heritage’s Birmingham base. When requesting your quote, let us know your club membership and we will apply your discount.
Heritage offers free agreed value on all policies. We work with you to establish a fair insured value for your specific car, taking into account its model, variant, chassis number series, condition, service history, restoration quality, and current market values. For particularly rare variants, such as the 100S, 100M, or early BN1, this process may involve reference to recent auction results or specialist appraisals. We recommend reviewing your agreed value at each renewal, as Austin Healey values, particularly for the Big Healeys, have been rising steadily.
Yes. Period-correct upgrades, engine rebuilds, chassis restorations, and sympathetic modifications are covered as standard under Heritage Austin Healey insurance policies. You should declare all modifications and any significant recent restoration work when requesting your quote, so that the investment you have made in the car is properly reflected in the agreed value and policy terms.
Yes. If your Healey is off the road and undergoing restoration, Heritage can arrange laid up or SORN insurance to protect it during that period. This covers the car, and the investment in parts already fitted against fire, theft, accidental damage, and flood while it is not in use on the road. Once the restoration is complete and the car returns to road use, we can transition your policy to a full classic road insurance policy. Call our team on 0121 248 9229 to discuss your restoration project.
Austin Healey insurance is typically more affordable than people expect, because classic car insurance is priced very differently from standard motor cover. These cars are driven fewer miles, stored carefully, and owned by enthusiastic, knowledgeable custodians, factors that specialist insurers recognise and reward. The agreed value approach also ensures you only insure the car for what it is genuinely worth. The best way to find out what Heritage can offer for your specific Healey is to call us on 0121 248 9229 or request a quote online.
