1959 Austin Healey 100-6 BN4 For Sale

The Austin Healey 100-6 was produced from 1956 to 1959. The predecessor to this vehicle was the 100-4 and the model after was the 3000. These vehicles are known as the big Healey's. When the 100-6 was produced it was two inches longer than the 100-4 and the four cylinder engine was replaced with a six cylinder. Body lines on these vehicles had some changes from the previous years. They came with a grille that was smaller in height but was wider than the 100-4, an air scoop was added to the hood, and the windshield was fixed and not able to be folded down. There was two types of 100-6's produced; the two seater model and the four seater. Initially the 100-6 engine could produce 102 horsepower. Over the years horsepower would be increased. Overdrive transmissions were made optional.
