The Austin-Healey 100-6 arrived in 1956 as the successor to the original "Big Healey," the 100. Designed to offer more refinement and a modest power bump, the 100-6 stretched the wheelbase to accommodate a true 2+2 seating configuration, though a rarer 2-seater option was still available, echoing the purity of its predecessor. Powered by a 2.6-liter C-series inline-six engine, it delivered 102 horsepower (later 117 hp in the BN6 variant), providing a smooth, torquey drive perfectly suited for grand touring. While it may not have possessed the raw, early racing pedigree of the 100, the 100-6 further cemented Austin-Healey's reputation for building stylish, capable British roadsters that were as at home on winding country roads as they were on the continent's nascent motorways. This 1958 Austin-Healey 100-6, a desirable 2-seater model, presents an intriguing opportunity for the dedicated enthusiast. Showing 100,000 miles on the odometer, this example is offered as a parts car, indicative of its current condition and potential for a comprehensive restoration. Its automatic transmission suggests a conversion at some point in its history, as these cars were originally equipped with a manual gearbox. This is a chance to acquire a significant piece of British motoring heritage, whether for a meticulous restoration or to contribute to the revival of another classic Healey.
