1959 Austin Healey 100-6. This car was sold new in Victoria BC and enjoyed for several years before the owners were transferred to Hong Kong and the car was put in storage for decades. It was eventually reclaimed by the owner's daughter and then passed through several owners who restored all the mechanical systems of the car as needed, including a complete engine rebuild. Receipts for more than $20,000 are available.
This car presents as a true survivor with a long service history. A lot of the red paint is original but there is evidence of light collision repair to the trunk and a small area of rust repair to the area in front of the rear wheel wells. The frame is absolutely solid with original red paint showing through the oil and ancient undercoating. The interior is all original with the exception of the carpets which are a high quality replacement kit. The vinyl on the dash and door panels has faded but is in amazing condition, as is the leather on all seats. This car looks like a 10 year old sports car that you would be seeing in 1969.
The Healey runs and drives beautifully. The engine is smooth and makes a beautiful noise through the newer stainless steel exhaust system. The overdrive works as designed in 3rd and 4th gear. Suspension is tight and there is remarkably little body shake or rattle for a 59 year old British car. New wire wheels and correctly sized Vredestein Sport tires.
The original top, tonneau and side curtains are in exceptional condition although the wooden header bow on the top will need to be replaced. A restored hardtop is included as are many small parts as shown in the photos.
The British Heritage Certificate shows this car to be an very rare red over black coves with a red interior. The engine number plate unfortunately was lost during the engine rebuild but it is most likely the original engine to the car
This is a truly stunning, original Austin Healey 100-6.
Located on Saltspring Island, British Columbia.
Realistically priced at CAN$49,000.
