Our car is a reimagined British automotive icon. It’s a representation of how Caton thinks Donald Healey would’ve created his iconic 100/4 if he had modern technology at his disposal. The exterior has been substantially redesigned to remove seam lines, exterior hinges and accentuate the existing flowing landscape of the car.
An increase in volume within the rear haunches and a continuation of the front valance swooping towards the tarmac creates a more authoritative stance. The original four-cylinder engine has been bored out to 2954cc, fully lightened, and includes a full steel crank, more aggressive cam, high-compression pistons, and gas flowed, larger two-inch twin H8 carburettors. The upgrades bring the engine up to more than double (185 bhp) the original power.
Reimagined for the modern motorist and connoisseur of exquisite design and precision engineering.
Craftsmanship
The fine touch of craftspeople authorises a characterful and personalised finish that modern machinery cannot replicate. Their fingerprints and DNA have embellished every element, no element more so than the coachbuilt bodywork. Caton uses English Wheel techniques to create the perfect form before translating the contours to Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Great beauty seldom comes from the gigabits of a machine but starts with something tactile. This principle can be truly felt when you sit inside.
You are embraced by your own choice of interior; your fingers are supported by the ergonomic scallops in the steering wheel and your mind is serene as you drive a bespoke hand-built car just for you.

Caton are a truly local story. Our car was designed, crafted, and composed in the Midlands of the United Kingdom, homegrown from the grounds of two locations synonymous with car building in Coventry and Warwick. The mechanical underpinnings of Healey by Caton were curated by J.M.E. Healey, a company situated in the original 1952 home of Austin-Healey, The Cape Works in Warwick, just ten miles south of Caton’s Coventry HQ.
