This 1957 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN4 is a four-seat roadster that underwent a cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment during prior ownership that was reportedly completed in 2015 and included exterior and interior color changes along with the installation of fiberglass rear body panels and replacement of the powertrain. The car is finished in red and silver over a red leather interior and is powered by a rebuilt 350ci V8 paired with a Muncie four-speed manual transmission. Additional features include a red soft top, a heater, exhaust headers, and knock-off wire wheels. Recently acquired by the selling dealer, service completed in preparation for the sale included an oil change, safety inspection, and replacement of the front dampers. This modified BN4 is now offered with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, a tonneau cover, side curtains, service records, and a clean Pennsylvania title.

This car was delivered new finished in Ivory White, and it was repainted its current red and silver during the refurbishment according to the selling dealer, who notes fiberglass rear quarter panels were fitted and the frame was refurbished and repainted at that time. Features include body-color windshield posts, front and rear bumper overriders, and chrome fender welting.

Chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels secured with two-eared knock-off hubs wear 175R15 Michelin tires. A matching spare is located in the trunk. The red soft top is shown fitted in the gallery below, and a tonneau cover as well as side curtains with sliding windows are included in the sale.

The replacement red interior features leather-upholstered front bucket and individual rear seats with white piping. A Smiths heater resides under the dash, and other equipment includes a Hurst shifter and cut-off switch for the electric fuel pump.

A wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 486 miles, with true mileage unknown.

A 350ci V8 replaces the factory inline-six and features an Edelbrock intake manifold, a four-barrel carburetor, a chrome air cleaner housing and valve covers, and wrapped headers linked to a stainless-steel dual exhaust system. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Muncie four-speed manual gearbox. An oil change and safety check was completed in preparation for the sale.

The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate indicates a manufacture date in December 1956 and lists the original colors, equipment, and engine number, along with the dealer destination.
