1959 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN6 Two-Seater Roadster finished in a gorgeous Ivory White with Black Leather interior accented with contrasting red piping and a Black convertible top. This 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. This very special BN6 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 Austin Healey has traveled just 3,874 miles since completion and had been thoroughly vetted in all weather conditions. Every vintage automobile enthusiast hopes to buy a car from this kind of previous ownership care and preservation. Contact Jon Faust for more info. (800)957-5707, jon@stlouiscarmuseum.com

Comment by Bob Markovich

This Healey appears to have been built to drive rather than simply look atand the two-seater roadsters (both 100/6 BN6 and 3000 BN7) are MUCH rarer than the 2+2 versions. But someone went overboard on the dash, which I would pull out, remove all those foolish metal labels, recover in vinyl, and reinstall. The original trafficator and horn button are also gone; replacing it will cost several hundred dollars for the parts plus a rewiring and some work. What's more, this car has been for sale for awhile (and prices are soft), so I'd bargain hard. But the good news is that it's been gone through and the updates should make it a friendlier and more reliable driverif the dealer selling it doesn't want to die with it.
