1958 AUSTIN HEALEY 100/6 BN4

When new in 1958, this Austin-Healey 100/6 (BN4) was exported to the USA but returned to the UK in 1995 in poor condition. It was restored (and its colour changed from original Ivory White) and then UK-registered in April 1998 (with photographs and invoices supporting this in the paperwork file). The odometer shows 10,288 miles and the last MoT expired in January 2024 after being tested the previous year at an indicated 9752 miles. However, as an historic vehicle, the Austin-Healey no longer requires annual testing. 

The V5C notes six registered keepers, one of whom was Anthony Hamilton, the father of Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton. Our vendor bought the car in January 2023 to satisfy a long-term desire but never intended to own the car for too long, hence its sale now. He reports that it runs and drives well, and is reliable on the local classic car trips he has used it on, but notes some engine oil leakage at the front. Upgrades include LED lighting with indicator conversion.  

Paperwork includes the V5C, MoT certificates back to 1999, some Alabama paperwork, and a collection of invoices. There's also the restoration photos, SU carburettor tuning, adjustment and servicing instructions, a Heritage Certificate, workshop manual and a notebook detailing work done between August 2018 and October 2024, which includes a recent full service.
