1959 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN4 4-Seat Roadster

Description

The Austin-Healey 100-6 debuted in 1956 as an evolution of the earlier 100 model and part of the BN4 series. With a smoother, more powerful six-cylinder engine and a longer wheelbase to accommodate occasional rear seating, the 100-6 remains a highly regarded British sports car that paved the way for the later 3000 model.

Acquired by the seller in 2014, this 100-6 is a 2+2 seat "BN4" example finished in Old English White paired with a black convertible top and low-back bucket seats featuring white piping. The 15” knock-off wire wheels are fitted over four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, and the four-speed manual transmission is equipped with an electronic overdrive unit.

The seller reports that the 2.6L engine was overhauled in 2021, featuring twin SU carburetors.

This 100-6 BN4 is now offered with a tonneau cover and a clean Florida title in the name of the seller's trust.
