This 1957 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN4 four-seat roadster was refurbished under previous long-term ownership before being acquired by the selling dealer in 2023. The car is finished in red and wears a black soft top as well as 15″ wire wheels. The cockpit houses seats trimmed in red vinyl as well as a wood-rimmed steering wheel and a Smiths heater and instrumentation. Power is supplied by a 2.6-liter inline-six fitted with dual SU carburetors, while shifting is through a four-speed manual gearbox linked with an electrically actuated overdrive unit. Service in 2024 is said to have included rebuilding the carburetors, overhauling the brakes, and replacing the tires. This 100-6 BN4 is now offered at no reserve by the selling dealer with a black vinyl tonneau cover, sliding side windows, and a Virginia title.

The body was repainted red as part of the aforementioned refurbishment completed under previous ownership. The car wears a black soft top as well as a fender-mounted rearview mirror and chrome bumpers with overriders. A black vinyl tonneau cover is included in the sale.

The 15″ wire wheels are secured by two-eared spinners. Work in preparation for the sale is said to have included mounting Michelin tires and overhauling the four-wheel drum brakes.

The cabin features front bucket seats and rear seats upholstered in red vinyl with white piping. Further appointments include a Smiths heater, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, and front lap belts.

A wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 29k miles. True mileage is unknown.

The 2.6-liter inline-six was reportedly rebuilt under previous ownership. It is fed by dual SU carburetors, which are noted to have been rebuilt in preparation for the sale.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox linked with an electrically actuated Laycock de Normanville overdrive unit.

The current Virginia title lists “prior state” under the Odometer Brand section.
