The vendor has provided the following:

  • Austin Healey 100/6 BN4 1957 fitted with:
  • Chevrolet Small Block 283cu (4600cc) period V8 engine - great V8 noise
  • Edelbrock 500CFM Carb and Muncie M20
  • 4-speed Gearbox, all producing circa 220bhp
  • MGB Steering rack conversion added to improve steering
  • An electric fan
  • Large alloy radiator
  • Facet fuel pump and an electronic ignition conversion, all for added reliability
  • The car was built/restored in 2021 & 2022 with chassis, axles, suspension, brakes all rebuilt and engine stripped and inspected (build and restoration photos included)
  • The car has only done a few miles since
  • Complete with a freshly painted Hard Top, sliding side windows, and a Tonneau Cover
  • Blockley Radial tyres are fitted onto 72 Spoke knock-on wire wheels, including the spare
  • Hill climb or race car look with nearly new period bucket seats, black racing harnesses, and alloy panelling
  • It would make a seriously fun hill climb or classic track day car
  • Evocation of the cars Carroll Shelby could have built if BMC had allowed him to work with his friend, Donald Healey, and put the Chevy 283 into an Austin Healey body and chassis, but sadly, they didn't
  • Shelby then went to AC for the AC Cobra, and the rest is history
