Description from the seller

1959 Austin‑Healey 100‑6 BN4

Description
This 1959 Austin‑Healey 100‑6 BN4 is a desirable 2+2 version of the iconic Big Healey, presented in attractive, driver-ready condition, with a soft‑top included. The car shows 00440 miles on the odometer (true mileage unknown) and is an original left‑hand‑drive example — ideal for continental European touring—a charming classic with strong mechanical character and a solid overall presentation.

Body and Paint
The paintwork presents well with a consistent shine. Minor age‑related imperfections may be present, but no major dents or visible accident damage.
Chrome elements — bumpers, grille, trim — are in good condition with a bright finish and only light patina appropriate for the age.
Rubber seals around doors, windscreen, and boot are serviceable and fit correctly.
Windows and lights are clear and free from cracks.
No known accident history.
Underside and chassis appear structurally sound. Any past welding typical for a Healey of this age has been carried out professionally. No immediate needs were observed.
Soft‑top is included and in usable condition.

Technical Condition
Equipped with the classic 2.6‑liter inline‑six engine, paired with a 4‑speed manual gearbox.
The engine starts reliably both cold and warm, idles steadily, and pulls strongly through the rev range—no abnormal noises.
Gearbox shifts smoothly through all gears; clutch engages correctly without slipping.
No oil leaks observed from the engine or gearbox.
Brakes operate effectively and straight; brake components are in good working order.
Suspension feels tight and stable, with no knocking or excessive play.
Tires are in good condition with usable tread.
Recent maintenance includes routine service and inspection.
The car drives well and offers the authentic, engaging Healey experience.

Interior Condition
Upholstery is in good overall condition with tidy seats, clean carpets, and well‑presented door cards.
Dashboard is complete and retains its classic Healey appearance.
Interior components appear original or period‑correct unless otherwise noted.
Soft‑top frame operates correctly.
Gauges, switches, and electrical functions (lights, indicators, fan, etc.) are working as intended.
The steering wheel and gear lever show light patina consistent with age.

Additional Notes
Original left‑hand‑drive BN4 model — rarer and more desirable for European collectors.
Odometer shows 00440 miles; true mileage unknown due to age.
A charming and usable classic Healey, ideal for weekend drives, rallies, or further cosmetic refinement.
Sold with relevant documentation.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
