The model: engineering and emotion
Produced in 1957 at the historic Longbridge factory in Birmingham, this Austin Healey 100/6 represents one of the most mature and fascinating chapters in Healey production. With the introduction of the 2,639 cc inline six-cylinder engine, the 100/6 delivers smoother, more flexible and engaging performance, ideally suited to long-distance touring and historic competition.
The presence of overdrive adds an extra layer of technical sophistication, making the car equally enjoyable for spirited driving and relaxed cruising. The BN4 chassis, in 2+2 configuration, offers greater versatility, while rear-wheel drive, independent front suspension, and overall balance provide an authentic, direct and rewarding driving experience.

Essential elements that greatly enhance its collectible value and acceptance at exclusive events.
History of this example
Originally sold new in the United States, this Austin Healey enjoys an international history that further enhances its appeal. In the late 1980s it returned to England, where the owner at the time, Murray Scott Nelson, resident in Scarborough, obtained the British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate.
It was later imported into Italy, first registered in Padua and subsequently in Bologna. In 1993, it received the prestigious ASI Gold Plate certification.
Since 2004, the car has been owned by the same meticulous caretaker, who has preserved it with great care, maintaining excellent mechanical condition and full respect for its historical integrity.
The car has always been regularly subjected to mandatory biennial road inspections, with the current inspection valid.
Rarity and collectible value
Today, the Austin Healey 100/6 is increasingly rare. Production numbers were limited, and only a small number of examples have survived in correct, certified condition with documented history.
This example represents a unique opportunity for the collector seeking a car that combines emotion, elegance and eligibility for the world’s most prestigious historic events, while also offering strong long-term value.
