Description

History of the Model and this Example

L'Austin-Healey BN6 is an exclusive 2-seater version of the 100-6 model, produced from 1958 to 1959, and is particularly appreciated for its balance between power and handling.

Featuring a 2.6-litre inline six-cylinder engine, this 100-6 offers strong performance and a distinctive sound, making it ideal for rallies and amateur races of the period. With its distinctive grille and iconic design, it embodies the classic style of 1950s British sports cars. This two-seater version is the most sought-after for the purity of its "roadster" lines.

This example was delivered new to the United States in 1959 before being imported into France in 2007. Its owner undertook a complete, high-level restoration, completed in 2021. Since then, the vehicle has been regularly serviced and has benefited from adjustments and reliability improvements in our workshops.
