Austin-Healey 100/6 Overdrive

This is a 1958 Austin-Healey 100/6, the car that moved the big Healey from four cylinders to a smoother 2.6-litre straight-six. The two-seater is finished in Old English White with a red interior, wire wheels, a louvred bonnet and the desirable overdrive option, with a black tonneau cover and side screens.

It has covered 47,000 miles and was with one owner from the early 1990s. An older restoration by the Midland Austin Healey Centre is documented in invoices, covering a new radiator, carburettors and linkages, seals and floor pans, plus a repaint and retrim in the original colour scheme.

In October 2023 Moorland Classic Cars spent around £5,000 recommissioning it. The work included a new 6V battery, clutch master and slave cylinders, brake and handbrake overhaul, an aluminium fuel tank, wheel bearings, and suspension and charging system overhauls. It comes with a current MOT, old MOT paperwork and some tax discs.
