The Background
On of the three 'Big Healeys' (along with the 100 and later 3000) the 100-6 was introduced in 1956 as a replacement for its predecessor, the 100. It featured BMC's 2.6-litre, six-cylinder C-series engine which was seen as a drastic improvement over the previous four-pot motor.
Aesthetically speaking it differed little from the 100 save for the grille and an additional bonnet scoop. Top speed and 0-60mph times were improved in 1957 however thanks to later engine modifications.

The History
Benefiting from a full restoration in its past this original, late model 100-6 was fitted with a number of factory options from new including overdrive, spoked wheels, heater, a layered windscreen and radial tyres.
It is a true two-seater version minus the optional rear seats and has covered just over 36,000 miles which is nothing for the big six-cylinder motor.
The Paperwork
A rich history file is included with the car containing receipts, invoices and a complete photo report of the restoration. As previously stated the car comes with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate.
The Interior
Having covered a mere 36,000 miles in its lifetime the inside of this 100-6 is unsurprisingly unworn. The entirely maroon red interior complements the exterior beautifully and looks brand new with the two bucket seats showing no signs of any real wear. The cockpit is free from any indication of water ingress and the carpets and over mats are clean.
The dashboard is not cracked or weathered and all of the smiths gauges, along with the switches, are present and in good condition. The car has an additional, period Halda Tripmaster odometer fitted to the dashboard. The wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel is in great condition and completes the look of this stunning interior.

The Exterior
From what we can see the car is entirely rust-free, including the usual problem areas such as the wheel arches and sills. The body panels all line up and those sleek, sweeping lines are still just as beautiful today as 1959. All of the chrome presents equally well, as do the factory wire wheels.
The fruits of the restoration work are still evident and the Ivory White paintwork retains its lustre and shine. The windscreen shows no damage and the car comes complete with spare wheel, side windows, tonneau cover and roof – all of which are in excellent condition.

The Mechanics
The in-line six-cylinder engine is incredibly clean, as is the area under the bonnet in which it is nestled and the twin SU carburettors look to be in fine shape. None of the ancillaries appear to have degraded at all and there is no evidence of any fluid leaks, either from the engine or drivetrain.
The gearbox is smooth and positive and the all-important overdrive works as it should. The twin, up-swept exhaust appears to be unimpaired and the straight-six, C-Series engine is renowned for it's glorious sound.

The Appeal
One of the quintessential British sports cars the Austin Healey 100-6 was a definite improvement over the previous 100. The powerful six-cylinder, twin-carburettor C-Series engine is a particularly satisfying feather in its cap and it sounds gorgeous to boot.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da 0 € a 9.999 € | 100,00 € |
| Da 10.000 € a 49.999 € | 250,00 € |
| Da 50.000 € a 99.999 € | 500,00 € |
| 100.000 € + | 1.000,00 € |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
