Description:
Presenting a charming 1959 Austin Healey 100-6 BN4, finished in stunning Austin Healey Blue with Old English White and complemented by a Blue leather interior. This vehicle has a rich history, having been a one-owner car for the past 51 years, originally purchased in April 1972.
- Restoration: The car underwent a comprehensive frame-off restoration completed in 1998, with photo documentation available. It has been meticulously cared for and has never been parked outside since 1972, according to the previous owner’s notes.
- Acquisition: Following the previous owner’s passing, the vehicle was donated to charity and subsequently sold at a local auction, which is how we acquired it.
- Recent Maintenance: The car required extensive maintenance after sitting idle for about 10 years, with an additional $10,000 invested in bringing it back to roadworthy condition. Notable recent work includes:
- New distributor
- Clutch master cylinder
- Slave cylinder
- Brake master cylinder
- Complete front suspension overhaul
- Carburetor professionally rebuilt
- Factory Features: This model came equipped with 48-spoke wire wheels, overdrive, adjustable steering column, heater, laminated windscreens, and road speed tires. Included with the car are the British Motors Heritage Trust documentation, original toolkit, jacks, books, owner’s manuals, and recent service records, along with a new soft top and tonneau cover.
Current Condition:
- Exterior: The paint is rated 8 out of 10, with minor imperfections typical of a classic car. Please view the video for a detailed look at the vehicle.
- Interior: The interior is in excellent condition, showing no signs of wear.
- Mechanics: Powered by an inline six engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission featuring overdrive, both of which were rebuilt in 1998. The engine runs smoothly and provides ample power. The transmission shifts seamlessly through all gears.
- Tires: Equipped with like-new Michelin tires.
