The seller offers for sale this 1957 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN4, powered by a 2.6-litre inline-six engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. This example was imported from the United States and subsequently restored in Belgium. It is presented in an attractive two-tone finish over a dark interior, and is offered with a desirable selection of equipment including a body-colour hard top, a tonneau cover, a roll bar and a soft top, giving the new owner the flexibility to enjoy the car in open or closed configuration.
The 100-6 marked an important step in the evolution of the Big Healey line. Introduced in 1956, it replaced the four-cylinder 100 and brought a longer wheelbase, occasional rear seating in 2+2 form and, most significantly, a smooth six-cylinder engine in place of the earlier four. The BN4 designation refers to this six-cylinder, four-seat configuration. With its long bonnet, flowing wings and purposeful stance, the 100-6 captured the spirit of the classic British sports car and laid the groundwork for the later 3000 models that would cement the Austin-Healey legend in motorsport and on the road.
Behind the wheel, the 100-6 offers the relaxed yet spirited character that has made the Big Healey so sought after by enthusiasts. The torquey six-cylinder engine suits long-distance touring, while the timeless roadster styling continues to draw admiration wherever the car is shown. With its American import history, Belgian restoration and comprehensive set of accessories, this BN4 represents an appealing entry into Big Healey ownership for the collector or touring enthusiast.
