The Austin-Healey 100-6 arrived in 1956 as the successor to the original "Big Healey," the 100. While the earlier model established the brand's reputation for sporting prowess and elegant lines, the 100-6 marked a significant evolution, introducing a more powerful 2.6-liter C-series inline-six engine and a slightly longer wheelbase. Though initially offered as a 2+2 (BN4), the factory soon recognized the demand for a purer, more focused two-seater experience. The BN6, produced from 1958 to 1959, reintroduced the two-seat configuration, directly appealing to enthusiasts who cherished the uncompromised roadster feel of its ancestor. These BN6 models, with their lighter weight and classic proportions, are particularly sought after today, representing a sweet spot in the Big Healey lineage before the larger 3000 series took over. This particular 1958 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN6 is a prime example of the desirable two-seater, emerging from 25 years of devoted enthusiast ownership. Clad in the quintessential British Racing Green with a complementary tan interior and a crisp white soft-top, it presents as a highly original and robust driver. Showing 0 miles on the odometer (likely since restoration or replacement), this Healey runs and drives well, with its essential overdrive system functioning perfectly alongside all lights and signals. While it remains a straight and solid car, it offers the next custodian the rewarding opportunity to address minor cosmetic details, elevating its already presentable condition. This is a chance to acquire a rare and engaging piece of British motoring history, ready for its next chapter on the open road.
