AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Powered by a 4.7-litre Ford 289 V8 engine producing 199 kW / 271 hp
• Features custom racing-style modified wheel arches and a full repaint
• Accompanied by historical certificates and UK specialist service documentation
• Fitted with sporty upgrades including seat belts, sports steering wheel, and sports pedals
HISTORY & OVERVIEW:
Introduced in 1956, the Austin-Healey 100/6 (BN4) represents a defining era of British roadsters, featuring a longer wheelbase and a 2+2 seating configuration compared to its predecessor. This 1957 example combines classic British styling with enhanced performance courtesy of a 4.7-litre Ford 289 V8 petrol engine delivering 271 hp (199 kW). The vehicle has been maintained in the United Kingdom by specialist workshops and is equipped with a folding soft top. It features racing-inspired body modifications and comes with historical certificates and service history documentation.
EXTERIOR:
The bodywork is in good condition with modified wheel arches giving the car a distinct, racing-inspired stance. The car has been repainted and presents no rust, previous accident damage, or necessary welding work. All glass and windows remain in good overall condition without significant damage.
INTERIOR:
The cabin is trimmed in genuine leather upholstery that is well maintained with no holes or major damage. It features sporty enhancements including performance seat belts, a sports steering wheel, and sports pedals. All electrical components and systems are reported to be working properly.
MECHANICS:
The 4.7-liter Ford 289 V8 engine produces 199 kW / 271 hp and is paired with a smooth-shifting gearbox. Mechanical components including the engine, clutch, and brakes are in good working order. The car starts easily, runs smoothly, displays no oil leaks, and the last engine oil change was performed approximately one year ago. The tyres are in good condition and suitable for continued use.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle is supplied with historical certificates and UK specialist service documentation.
The vehicle can be viewed and picked up. Bids do not include transportation or export costs unless stated otherwise. Arranging transport, transfer of ownership, and any applicable export/COC fees are the responsibility of the buyer.

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.
