Description
Capots Vintage, specialist in prestige and classic vehicles in Lyon, is offering for sale this Austin Healey 100/ 6 BN4 which left the factory on 23 February 1959 in Healey Blue with navy blue interior. A 6-cylinder version of the "Hundred" model with the bodywork of the 3000, the engine of the BN4 was fitted with a new manifold and a new cylinder head to increase performance and develop 117 bhp (almost identical to the Austin Healey 3000 BT7). Completely restored some twenty years ago, the bodywork of our car shows a certain patina with a few age-related defects. However, our car is very sound and shows no signs of corrosion. The mechanics and underpinnings (chassis, floorboards and rocker panels) are in excellent condition (see photos). We have the British Motor Heritage certificate to confirm that our roadster is completely Matching Colors and Matching Numbers. The bodywork, engine and gearbox are all original, as are the interior and exterior colours, which were the same as those delivered new in 1959. An original detail is that the car is fitted with Dunlop-type wheels, which sets it apart from its counterparts equipped with chromed spoke wheels. The car is also fitted with a blue PVC soft top with roll bar, tonneau cover and sidescreens. There is no charge for this car. It can be traded in for your classic car.
