The Austin-Healey 100-6 arrived in 1956, marking a significant evolution from the original ‘Big Healey’ 100/4 that had captured the world's imagination at the 1952 London Motor Show. While retaining the quintessential British roadster aesthetic, the 100-6 introduced a longer wheelbase, a more spacious 2+2 seating configuration (though a two-seater was still an option), and critically, a new six-cylinder engine. This inline-six, initially displacing 2.6 liters, brought a smoother power delivery and a more refined character, aligning with the evolving tastes of the sports car market. It bridged the gap between the raw, early 100/4 and the more powerful 3000, becoming a beloved chapter in the Austin-Healey saga before production ceased in 1959. This 1958 Austin-Healey 100-6 presents as a compelling blank canvas for a dedicated enthusiast. Showing 100,000 miles on the odometer, this two-seater variant is offered as a comprehensive restoration project or a valuable source of components. While the original engine specification is not provided, the car comes with a manual transmission and additional desirable spares, including extra dials and two starters, indicating a foundation ripe for a meticulous revival. This is an exceptional chance to embark on the journey of bringing a classic British roadster back to its former glory.
