1958 Austin Healey 100/6 - 13k miles since full rebuild For Sale

This fabulous driving, well presented Austin Healey 100/ 6 was subject of a major rebuild in 1990 and has covered around 13000 miles since. The Healey comes with three folders of history, a photo record of the major work, and an impressive file of maintenance invoices since restoration. The Healey started life as a North American export car, finished at the factory in Healey Blue with Blue trim between the 15th-18th September 1958 and supplied new in Los Angeles. The car was fitted with wire wheels, overdrive, heater and laminated windscreen and today presents as per its factory specification with the exception of a RHD conversion.
From a US owner certificate present in the history file we can see from 1977 the car was based in Sierra Madre, a City in the Los Angeles County, in the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley. Having been with a long term owner, the 100/ 6 arrived in the UK in early 1990, was on the road MOT tested in early 1991 and over several years was rebuilt to a very high standard. The bodywork was restored as required, and then prepared for a high quality re-paint by Healey specialists in the cars original colour. The 100/ 6 had renewed brightwork, was fully re-upholstered, new wheels and tyres and was converted to RHD.

Mechanically PSU 194 was completely overhauled and the engine was taken to the highly rated performance engineering firm Oselli for a complete rebuild. Oselli stripped down the engine and rebuilt it with new +060 pistons, main and big end bearings and new cam bearings. Machining wise they re-bored the block, re-ground the crankshaft, fully balanced the crank and built up with new oil pump, water pump, new timing chain and tensioners, new clutch and various other ancillaries. Carbs were rebuilt, and new stainless steel exhaust fitted. The gearbox was stripped, checked and new seals and gaskets fitted, and the brakes, steering and suspension renewed as required.

From 1991 seventeen MOT certificates record regular annual use, taking the mileage to 10000 since rebuild before being sold by Healey specialists Rawles in the South of England. During 2011 Healey performance specialists carried out a brake disc conversion with M16 calipers, new brake hoses, hub bearings including oil seals, and discs and pads and expenditure totalled almost £2, 000. In late 2011 the Healey headed to Scotland for the next chapter of its life and during its time in the north it has largely been maintained by the well known Milford Engineering Limited with invoices on file for over £11, 000 between 2012 and 2016. Over this period the Healey covered around 3000 miles but had very little use between 2016 and 2021. In 2021, Dalkeith based Rolls Royce and Bentley specialists Mulsanne Motors cleaned, serviced and lightly overhauled the brakes and the car arrives with us on the button, and driving superbly.

PSU 194 is an excellent driving older restoration that has some very key selling points. It is of course the highly desirable two seater BN6 in original colours, with wires, overdrive and disc brake conversion, further to that the impressive Oselli rebuilt engine offers superb performance, excellent oil pressure and sounds exceptional. The underside is very impressive and under a coating of waxoyl reveals body coloured floor pans and chassis, and a general all round patina expected from a car rebuilt almost 30 years ago gives the feel of a strong, robust, and very honest car. With a nice set of wire wheels, period continental tyres, clean boot compartment and engine bay, the car offers an excellent all round package. Finished in arguably the best Healey colour, the car is very straight with a nicely aged paint finish thar does show signs of minor blemishes commensurate with its early 1990’s re-paint. Subject to price, we are happy to discuss some paintwork rectification, however we will leave this decision to the buyer as many will see this car as the perfect all year-round usable Healey and keep it exactly as it is. The Healey comes with its British Motor Industry Heritage certificate, two lever arch folders of paperwork, handbook, photo album and full weather equipment.
