This Austin-Healey is a genuine UK supplied righthand drive example having been supplied new in January 1958 and remains in its original colour combination of Colorado Red over black with red interior. The last registered keeper has owned the car for 17 years and his predecessor owned the Healey for 20 years. Clearly this has been a highly cherished Austin-Healey and presents in excellent condition throughout. Sitting proudly on chrome wire wheels, we are advised she drives as good as she looks. A magnificent history folder accompanies this 100/6 with invoices dating back to the 60's; the original buff logbook is also present. The records confirm this to be a matching numbers engine and gearbox. A 100/6 is a delightful car to drive; this example is fitted with an overdrive unit and we are advised drives with alacrity. Supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 19th November 2018, this is a splendid example and one that is a credit to the four owners that have had the delight of owning her for the last 60 years.
