Seller's comments and description: 1959 austin healey 100/6, matching numbers car, an extremely original, unmolested, unrestored. The healey has been well maintained & makes for a ‘first class’ driver quality car that could be displayed for show & driven as is on any road trip. Originally a black car with red interior according to the heritage certificate, the owner did a color change & installed a complete new interior kit sometime in the early 2000’s. A new stayfast convertible top & side curtains were added in 2010. Even though the paint is approx. 15 plus years old it still presents its self very well & could be left for many years to come. There are some areas where the paint is showing its age & i have attempted to take pics of these areas. For the most part the paint shows extremely well (looks like an expensive paint job when originally done). I have had the paint professionally touched–up & polished to bring back that ‘like new appearance’. The engine & transmission were apparently rebuilt during the original owner’s tenure ship but i have no paperwork to prove this. The engine starts effortlessly, runs smooth, pulls strong, has great oil pressure when hot & does not burn any oil. The transmission can be up/down shifted through all of the gears with ease & the overdrive works. The clutch works properly & does not slip. There are no over heating problems & runs consistently at around 170 deg. The brakes & clutch hydraulic systems have recently been rebuilt, the car brakes evenly & stops as it should with the 4 drum brakes. All lighting systems, including headlamps, turn signals, brake lights etc. The wiring harness in the car is original to the car & no one has touched or modified the wiring to the best of my knowledge. The healey is equipped with; electric o/d, heater, momolita wood steering wheel, adjustable steering column & chrome wire wheels. The chassis is solid & straight, never in an accident... & it still shows the original undercoating that was applied in the 60’s when the car was new, still in excellent condition with only a few spots peeling & cracked from age. The underside of the car was ‘waxolyed’ in 2010 to preserve & seal the undercoating/chassis. This healey is very presentable & a pretty car that draws attention wherever it goes. Given the originality & overall solid condition of this car it makes for a rare & indeed collectable healey 100/6. It should be driven & enjoyed as it is & preserved to maintain its original patina.
