1958 Austin Healey 100/6 BN6

•⁠ Extensive mechanical restoration
•⁠ More than €21,000 invested in recent years


The 1958 Austin Healey 100/6 BN6 is one of the most desirable versions of the iconic Austin-Healey roadster, combining British sports-car character with elegant styling and genuine rarity.

Unlike the more common 2+2 configuration, the BN6 is a strict two-seater, with only approximately 3,500 examples produced in this configuration, making it a particularly interesting model for collectors and enthusiasts.

Powered by its characteristic inline-six engine, the Austin-Healey 100/6 offers an authentic and engaging driving experience. Its long bonnet, low-slung proportions and unmistakable British roadster character perfectly embody the golden age of post-war sports cars.

The combination of its elegant design, six-cylinder engine, manual gearbox and overdrive makes the BN6 equally suited to enjoyable country-road driving, long-distance touring and classic-car events.

As a rare two-seater version of the 100/6, the BN6 has a particularly strong appeal among collectors, offering the charm and authenticity of a true British sports car while remaining an enjoyable and usable classic.

This example
This 1958 Austin Healey 100/6 BN6, finished in its highly elegant Red and Cream colour combination, benefits from careful ownership, extensive maintenance and a significant history of mechanical work.

More than €21,000 have been invested in recent years, primarily through Normandy Classics, a recognised specialist. The car is accompanied by an extensive file of invoices documenting the work carried out.

The engine has undergone a complete rebuild, including removal and machining of the block and cylinder head, crankshaft work, new pistons, aluminium sump, oil pump, water pump, timing chain and clutch. The work was carried out with particular attention to the mechanical integrity and reliability of the car.

The braking system has also been comprehensively renewed, including the master cylinder, calipers, flexible hoses, brake lines and rear brakes. Part of the suspension has likewise been rebuilt.

The ignition system and carburettors have been checked and adjusted, while the gearbox and overdrive have also been inspected and correctly set up. More recently, the car has received a high-performance starter motor, a new radiator and two new tyres.

The original steering wheel is supplied with the car, together with its sidescreen tonneau cover, both in excellent condition.

All invoices are available and will be handed over to the future owner, providing a detailed record of the considerable investment and maintenance carried out on the vehicle.

The Healey starts perfectly, drives very well and is ready to be enjoyed on the road. This is a particularly healthy and well-maintained example, prepared with reliability in mind and requiring no compromise on its mechanical upkeep.

A rare BN6 two-seater, with substantial documented expenditure, an extensively rebuilt engine and an attractive Red and Cream specification, this Austin Healey represents an excellent opportunity for the collector looking for an authentic British sports car that can be enjoyed just as much on the road as it can within a collection.
