Description
Attractive
and eminently usable example of this classic British sportscar; just
two owners in the last 35 years; vast file of invoices back to the early
1990s; driven 60 miles to the sale
This
smart Austin Healey 100/6 (BN4) 4-Seater was driven in to us from South Wales by
a gentleman who has enjoyed and cherished this car for the last five years.
The previous owner had the Healey for over 30 years and
carried out much work to the car, including what looks like body, engine, brakes
and transmission restoration.
It comes with a vast file of invoices back to the early 1990s to show
regular upkeep and the current owner has confirmed he rebuilt the engine in
2021 with new pistons, bearings etc, receipts of the machining work that was
carried out supplied with the vehicle. We are told that the car runs and drives
well, it has certainly been starting promptly and running nicely as we have
moved it around on site, with healthy 40psi oil
pressure.
The front and rear bumpers have been removed to enhance the sports
car look given by the white roundels on both sides which really makes
this car stand out from the rest. Both chrome bumpers and brackets are included
in the sale if you prefer the more classic and original look.
A side-exit exhaust adds to the sporting appeal and there is a hood tucked
away under a smart cover behind the seats to keep you dry if you get
caught out in the rain.
The Healey is painted in an attractive deep red with black leather
seats and red piping to subtly unite the exterior colour through to
the interior. Overall, the car is in very respectable condition with just a few
minor blemishes here and there, as to be expected on a car of this age, and
a good machine polish would no doubt get it gleaming
nicely.
