Austin Healey - 100-6 BN4 (BJ8 engine) - 1959

1959 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN4 Four-Seat Roadster with BJ8 Engine GENERAL: A 1959 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN4 four-seat roadster, thoroughly renovated over the past years and tastefully upgraded with desirable mechanical enhancements. Originally acquired as a project in 2017, the car was fully stripped and rebuilt, receiving extensive metalwork and a complete repaint in dark brown metallic in 2020. Numerous exterior panels were renewed during restoration, including the fenders, rocker sections, door skins, floorboards, and an outrigger. The car has been fitted with an aluminum front bumper and an aluminum rear bumper, and the overall appearance benefits from a later-style front grille, Lucas-covered running lights, dual exhaust outlets, hood scoop, and plexiglass wind deflectors. The car sits on 15-inch wire wheels with three-ear knockoffs, wrapped in 195/60 Achilles ATR Sport tires, and features a subtly lowered suspension for improved stance and road presence. MECHANICAL: Powering this BN4 is a desirable later-generation 2.9-liter inline-six sourced from an Austin-Healey BJ8 3000, paired with a top-shift four-speed manual transmission. Performance upgrades include a Denis Welch Motorsport-style intake manifold, dual SU HD8 carburetors, a recored radiator, and a five-blade cooling fan. Mechanical refurbishment carried out in 2018 included carburetor servicing, distributor overhaul, clutch hydraulic rebuild, and radiator modification. The car is equipped with four-wheel drum brakes, with the brake and wheel cylinders reconditioned in 2018. HISTORY & DOCUMENTATION: This Healey was sold in 2017 in project condition and was subsequently taken down to bare metal for a comprehensive restoration. Bodywork repairs and repaint were completed in 2020, followed by interior re-trim in 2021. The car has been upgraded while retaining period character, Lucas-branded running lights, a Smiths cabin heater, passenger grab handle, and a custom-fit interior. The seats were professionally retrimmed in black leather by Rightway Heritage Trimming in Langford, British Columbia, with the remainder of the interior materials supplied by John Skinner Ltd. (UK). A black-carpeted interior was custom-made, covering both floor sections and the fiberglass transmission tunnel. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Offered with a red mohair tonneau cover, spare components, and technical literature, this 1959 Austin-Healey 100-6 represents an attractive opportunity to acquire a tastefully enhanced BN4 with desirable BJ8 power, period-correct character, and fresh cosmetic presentation. With upgraded performance hardware, a fully renewed interior, and recent restoration work, this four-seat roadster blends heritage charm with spirited driving potential. Delivered with a USA title and EU import documents. We always recommend to come by and check out the car in real life, to get the best idea of the car. Additional services: Transport: We can arrange transport for you, both open and closed. Export: We offer full export support, should you wish to export the car
