Austin-healey 100 Six /6 1958 / Manual

The car was delivered new to America in 1958. The current owner, in Brittany, bought the car in 2016 from another Breton collector. The latter had bought the car in Belgium via a specialist dealer in 2009. Extensive maintenance work has been carried out in recent years to ensure that it runs as smoothly as possible.

The Austin-Healey 100/6 marked a real evolution, being the first Healey to feature a 6-cylinder engine. The result was striking: the car gained in performance and, above all, in character. The addition of an overdrive enabled the engine speed to be reduced on long journeys. With 4 seats, the Healey 100/6 becomes an elegant, versatile and high-performance roadster.

Our example has benefited from extensive renovation work. The car is in superb condition in every respect. The owner has chosen not to refit the original bumpers, but has kept them carefully.
