Description
This vehicle is an early Austin-Healey 100-6, in BN4 guise, which means that it’s the 2+2 model, rather than the later two-seater.
It was exported new to the USA in LHD configuration and, we’re happy to report, spent the rest of its life there in sunny, salt-free, dry California.
It also spent some 30 years doing absolutely nothing and living in a barn.
It returned to the UK in, we think, 1996.
It then went to live in Rugby for a while.
It next makes a public appearance in an Ebay listing in October 2005.
The then vendor stated that new floors, sills and rear inner wings had been fitted, the car had been returned to RHD configuration and around £12,000 had been spent on sundry parts including suspension components, steering box, electronic distributor, uprated starter motor and alternator, wiring loom, and many, many other all-new bits and pieces.
He had also had the gearbox, including the overdrive, fully overhauled, and completely rebuilt the engine, boring it out to 2.9-litre...
