Selling a 1957 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN4

 

The 1956 and 1957 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN4 were among the last models manufactured at Austin-Healey’s factory in Longbridge. Production would move to Abington in December 1957. In total, it is estimated that approximately 7,053 of these first series BN4 models were produced during this time. First debuted in 1956, the Austin-Healey 100-6 is often considered as the model that market the most radical step forward in the “Big Healey” production. A 2.6L six-cylinder engine would be used to replace the previous four-cylinder, and the wheelbase would be lengthened to accommodate the additional occasional seats in the BN4. It is important to note, however, that despite the fact that the 100-6 would produce 12hp more than the previous models, little improvement was made in performance due to an increase in weight. Despite the power-to-weight ratio, buyers loved the 1957 Austin-Healey 100-6 BN4. Today’s collectors and Austin-Healey enthusiasts appreciate the Austin-Healey BN4 for its authentic sports touring feel, as well as for its comfortable and stylish driving experience.

Alternatively, there are buyers looking for those models that have been meticulously restored to their original glory.
