Details About Our Available Austin Healey Roadster: This luxurious and sporty, 1959 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN6 Two-Seater Roadster for sale is finished in a gorgeous Ivory White with Black Leather interior accented with contrasting red piping and a Black convertible top. Our sharp BN6 gracefully glides down the road powered by its original, numbers matching 2639cc Inline 6-cylinder engine mated to an upgraded 5-speed manual transmission. Seen here is a very special classic roadster that has had only 4 owners from new, with the most recent commissioning a no-expense spared rotisserie restoration to bring this Austin Healey to high level, rally-capable standards! After he purchased it from a longtime personal friend, and owner of the car for the better part of 35 years, it proceeded to begin into the restoration journey in 2016. This garage kept, and the virtually rust-free classic was completely stripped and placed on a rotisserie to bring it back to its original condition and factory appointed color.

It would then be reconstructed methodically with new wiring harnesses by British Wiring, all new leather interior, carpet, door panels over fully insulated interior using Dynamat; all new laminated windscreen + seal; and fresh weather stripping by MacGregor Coach trimming!

Up front, Girling disc brakes provide enhanced stopping power.
