We are pleased to offer this late entry 1959 Austin Healey 100/6 with the 2600cc six cylinder engine which is still in its original left hand drive format. It was imported froman American dry state and it has then been the subject of the most exacting chassis up rebuild.

It was stripped to the bare shell and chassis but as all the original panels were extremely straight and rust free they were replaced. A new floor was fitted as well as having new sills and outriggers. Inside the car has been completely retrimmed, new chrome, carpets, glass, exhaust and a new wiring loom has been fitted. It is finished in metallic Healey Blue with a Blue and Black interior trim and comes with the overdrive gearbox and a current M.O.T. until September 1998.

This 2+2 example of this most British of sportscars is now in superb condition throughout and one could certainly never hope to do this quality of rebuild for anything like its estimated sales figure today. A tremendous opportunity.
