This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show Sale 2023 on Saturday the 25th of March - Sunday the 26th of March, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.
Despite its initial success, sales of the original Austin-Healey 100 had begun to decline so the model was revamped as the '100/ 6'
The wheelbase was lengthened from 7'6" to 7'8", enabling the inclusion of two occasional seats in the rear of the BN4 variant
The new model was now powered by BMC's 2. 6-Litre, C-series six-cylinder generating a healthy 102bhp
This 1957 BN4 was originally sold to Holland in LHD before returning to the UK around 1970
It was subsequently fully restored and converted to right-hand drive by a previous owner
The restoration included a full strip to bare metal, new aluminium wings and doors, the front aluminium shroud was replaced and all of the removed parts were either repaired, restored or replaced as new.
The engine, gearbox and overdrive have been overhauled, and an unleaded head was fitted as was a new clutch and exhaust
The interior was refinished with new red leather seats, red carpets and trim
The bodywork was refinished in Old English White cellulose paint, as original. New black hood and new chrome bumpers and chrome trim
