Auction description:

1957 Austin-Healey 100-6

Estimate: $32,000 - $43,000

Vin: BN4138413

Odometer: 11,065 Miles

Finished in a monochromatic scheme of pure white, this little roadster has been treated to a fairly comprehensive cosmetic and mechanical restoration. The body panels line up quite well with proper gaps seen for the doors, bonnet, and boot. This 100-6 is riding on a set of knock off wire wheels with fresh rubber, white the bucket seats are covered in supple vinyl retaining the original stitching pattern. Under the hood is clean and tidy, with all the proper markings plus all wiring and hoses sorted out and looking just as they did when new. The gold faced speedometer and tachometer are 100% function, as are other gauges mounted properly in the dash. To keep one toasty and warm on a cool early morning drive is the original heater provided by Smith's. On the rear deck is mounted a handy luggage rack perfect for carrying the picnic basket on. This would be the perfect launch for an afternoon lunch.

Sold: $28,000

According to production records on file, this Healey 100-6 was dispatched from the Healey works in April of 1957, sporting wire wheels, a heater and overdrive, while finished in black over a red interior and black soft-top. The new Healey was left-hand drive and delivered to its first owner in the St. Louis, Missouri area. In recent years, this lovely 100-6 has received much refurbishment work, including fitment of a new interior and trunk carpets. Five new Michelin XZX tires were fitted on restored wire wheels, while braking and suspension systems were serviced. A new windshield and exhaust were also fitted. Finished in period-correct Old English White over black, this classic British sports car offers spirited six-cylinder power to climb mountain roads, while the overdrive option makes it comfortable on the highways. With spare parts and club support readily available, these lovely cars are easy to affordable to keep on the road. Equipped with soft-top, side curtains and tonneau cover, the car is accompanied by a Heritage Trust Certificate, owners and workshop manuals, tool kit, jack and restoration receipts. This matching-numbers 100-6 BN4 stems from the very beginning of the successful Big-Healey, six-cylinder production run, and should offer the next owner much enjoyment.
