*Austin-Healey 100/6: The Ultimate Healey, Built for Purists and Drivers Alike*
You know the saying, “the lucky ones have hills.” Now picture this: it’s early morning in the mountains, the air is crisp, and in the distance you hear the deep, resonant growl of a straight-six coming to life. It passes by you—effortless, confident. And the car? An Austin-Healey 100/6. That’s no coincidence. It was, and remains, one of the most beloved British sports cars ever built.

An Austin-Healey 100/6 is a pure machine — crafted with passion, refined with purpose, and meant to be driven. This is the Healey enthusiasts dream of.
And this particular example? A true fast-tour special with tremendous character and highly desirable specifications. It features a BJ8-29K engine, BN7 gearbox, and 100/6 rear axle — a configuration long favored in historic racing circles. Add to that an almost fully aluminum body in excellent condition, and you begin to understand just how special this car is.

*For the True Connoisseur And the Driver*
This Healey comes from the collection of a genuine marque purist, someone who tuned, refined, and improved this car with meticulous care. Even the seats have been thoughtfully modified to comfortably accommodate drivers over 6 feet tall. Every detail was considered with one goal in mind: to make this Healey more engaging, more rewarding, and even more exhilarating to drive.

Both the exterior and interior are beautifully presented, with elegant, well-preserved details throughout. Its service file and history are carefully documented, reflecting years of mechanical attention and passion.

The result? A strong, mechanically sound car with crisp power delivery across the rev range. This is a 100/6 that will cruise at 90 mph with confidence — stable, reliable, and offering the kind of analog driving thrill modern cars simply cannot replicate.

*A Legend Among the “Big Healeys”*
The Austin-Healey 100-6 marked a turning point in sports-car evolution:

- Longer wheelbase than the original 100
- Upgraded six-cylinder engine replacing the four-cylinder
- Cleaner, more athletic design
- DNA that would ultimately give rise to the legendary 3000

Produced from 1956 to 1959 in only 14,436 units, very few survive today in a condition and specification like this one. Contemporary road tests already hinted at its brilliance — but statistics only tell half the story. This car is emotion. And now, it’s legend.
