1957 AUSTIN HEALEY BN4 100/6 ROADSTER



ORIGINAL ORIGINAL ORIGINAL



This time warp 100/6 was purchased brand new from the Austin Works in the UK and flown to Melbourne in a Bristol Freighter in time to be a star attraction at the 1957 Royal Adelaide Show.



After the Show the car was presented as a gift to Ruth Cowling by her father, the major shareholder in Adelaide Motors, the then Austin Distributor for South Australia. From that time the Healey remained in the original family until 2009. Now offered for sale by the subsequent owner, this Healey has never been modified or restored and is still in absolutely original order, as delivered from the Works, with minor cosmetic retouching the only departure from standard. It has travelled a genuine 38,700 miles from new!



When displayed at the 2009 Austin Healey Owners Club Concours in Melbourne this outstandingly original car was awarded the prize for Most Original Healey. Included with the car are original Owners Handbook, tool kit and factory workshop manual.



With impeccable provenance and in nicely patinated condition the car drives beautifully in a manner consistent with its low mileage. You get originality only once, seize the opportunity now to secure an extremely rare automotive treasure!



To be delivered with Vic RWC.
