This is a matching numbers, 1957 Austin Healey 100-6 in very good mechanical and cosmetic condition with black exterior and red interior as per its British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate. The vehicle is a manual with overdrive, shifting and driving smoothly down the road. This Healey starts up immediately with its electronic fuel pump and keeps excellent oil pressure. Prior to my ownership, the front brakes had been upgraded to disc brakes for better stopping with todays driving conditions and the car also has an upgraded racing radiator to provide optimal cooling for the car. Hoses and wires are in good condition. All lights, horn, turn signals, etc. in good operable condition. The car was recently brought to Massachusetts and passed the Massachusettes state vehicle inspection in Oct 2016 with no issue (demonstration of operating vehicle with working lights, wipers, horn, brake inspection and other safety equipment as well as physical inspection of frame, windshield, bumpers, etc.). Current mileage on the odometer is about 73,000 which is believed to be original but cannot be registered as such due to the age of the car.
Cosmetically, the car received a repaint less than 2 years ago in its original black color and is in excellent condition. The chrome on this car is in excellent conditions. The interior has beautiful red leather seats with excellent patina. The red door and kick panels were replaced in August 2016 to match original (panels are from Moss Motors). It has its original laminated windscreen and is fitted with a period side view mirror on the drivers side. The car has its original top and frame which is off the car (the car is always garaged and only driven in good weather) and also comes with a new top skin from Robbins should you choose to recover.
This Healey also comes with a full black tonneau cover, its original spare and a British tool kit suitable for this car. The car also comes with a custom cover from California Car Covers. This is a well loved car that I have owned personally for the past 2 years but am selling due to a change in my location / living situation. Will consider trade for newer model Porsche 911 (997 or 991). Please contact me with any questions.
