The appeal

The Austin-Healey 100-6 BN4 is one of the most sought-after British sports cars of the late 1950s. Its 2,600 cc six-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive offered a compelling blend of performance and comfort for long journeys. The BN4's 2+2 layout also added welcome practicality to the Big Healey formula.

This restored example was originally imported from the United States, then acquired from a British car specialist. It is reported to have matching numbers and is registered in France with a historic vehicle registration document (carte grise de collection). The seller describes the bodywork, interior and mechanicals as being in very good condition. The paintwork presents well and reportedly shows only two light scratches. Significant mechanical work has been carried out recently. The seller also states that the car starts on the first turn of the key and uses no oil or water.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you remain covered by the Car & Classic terms and conditions.

✓ We require non-refundable fees to be paid if you are the successful bidder or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for the specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is "sold as seen", on a "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only, and it is standard practice to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want the transaction to run smoothly, just as you do, which is why UK-registered cars and motorcycles listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to confirm they carry no insurance database markers for damage or theft and are not subject to a financial charge, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off following a total loss at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic, and we provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. The presence or absence of a label does not, however, guarantee the vehicle's status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.

✓ Buyers are responsible for collecting or delivering the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company that may be able to help. For more details, and to speak to the team, please email auctions@carandclassic.com.
