The seller offers for sale this 1958 Austin Healey BN6 with a 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine and manual transmission. The car was disassembled, with all panels sandblasted, primed, and finished in professional black paint. The interior has been reupholstered in red leather with black piping, complemented by matching red vinyl door panels and a velour carpet set. The dashboard and door trim are finished to factory specification, while the original Smiths gold dials remain in good working order. Mechanically, the engine starts easily, produces no smoke, and operates smoothly without unusual noises. The gearbox shifts properly and quietly. The car shows no visible rust, accident damage, or mechanical issues. Several technical upgrades have been added, including disc brakes, improving safety and driving comfort.
The Austin Healey BN6, produced between 1958 and 1959, represents the transition between the early four-cylinder Healeys and the later 3000 models. It combines classic British roadster charm with increased torque and refinement from its 3-litre engine. Known for its balanced handling, robust construction, and distinctive exhaust note, the BN6 is highly regarded among collectors and enthusiasts for its pure driving experience. Its timeless design and responsive steering make it ideal for open-road touring and vintage rallies.
