This 1957 Austin-Healey 100-6 is a left-hand drive, four-seat BN4 roadster that is finished in black over red leather and powered by a replacement 2.9-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Additional equipment includes painted 15″ wire wheels, a banjo-spoke steering wheel, and a heater. The car is said to have undergone a cosmetic refurbishment under previous ownership in Texas, and was later relocated to Oklahoma where it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2019. This BN4 is offered with a clean Oklahoma title.

The car was repainted in black during a refurbishment under previous ownership. Rust repairs are said to have included new floor pans as well as outer rockers. Close-up photos of the paint and trim are shown in the gallery below.

Silver-painted 15″ knock-off wire wheels wear older Dunlop SP 20 metric tires that are said to be flat-spotted. A matching spare wheel with cracked Goodyear rubber is housed in the trunk.

The 2+2 cockpit has been reupholstered in red leather with matching carpets and door panels. Appointments include a banjo-spoke steering wheel, a heater, a chrome passenger-side grab handle, and rear seats with backrests that fold down to create a parcel shelf.

Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 3k miles, with the actual total unknown.

The replacement 2,912cc inline-six was reportedly sourced from a Mk III Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8, and was factory-rated at 150 horsepower when new. The twin SU carburetors were adjusted two months ago according to the selling dealer. The electrical system retains a generator and several glass fuses.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission that is said to be a center shift unit with an electrically-actuated overdrive unit.
