This proper 1959 Austin Healey 100-6 Roadster was treated to a restoration sometime during its lifetime. It is presented as a driver-quality automobile, as the body would benefit from a respray; it has a nice color combination of a black exterior over a red leather interior. A 2+2 configuration, the seats present nicely and match the dash and side panels. The interior comes fitted with two upgrades that add to its driving experience, a Smiths heater and a modern ESN stereo system. The naturally aspirated six-cylinder produces 117 horsepower, which is more than enough to move this lightweight sports car at a quick pace. A proper British roadster, this Austin-Healey 100-6 will give its next owner many memories on the road with the breeze blowing through their hair.
