For Sale 1957 Austin Healey 100/6

[Dorsal Fin]

I thought I'd post this on here to see if there is any interest.
I've had this about 10 years, driven it a few times and it's sat in the workshop for years, so needs re-commissioning.
It was restored in the 80's and only done about 5k miles since, it's a lovely old thing which deserves a better owner than me!
It has the 3 litre engine, a common mod back in the day as the 2.6 was slower than the 100/4
Prices are all over the place, I've seen total basket cases for £10k, and lovely ones at Rawles for £80k and more.
So, what do you think, £30k?

Looks a lovely car. Sadly not for me.GLWTS.

A proper car.

Rowles take a fixed (pretty modest) commission on sales. It might be worthwhile talking to them and, of course, the Healey Owners Club.

PS There’s lots of talk on the forum about the simplicity of ‘analog’ bikes and cars, without all the digital and computer wizardry of today. These cars are about as ‘analog’ as you can get.

Having seen the car “in the flesh” I can attest that it is stunning.

agreed on photos

.......kas the original reg been "stolen"? if so it's a pity and can you get that changed to one that is more appropriate .........letters for place of first registration etc., ........I would have thought they would have brought in new arrangement by now other than those letters ...........but I guess not

A friend of the family by the name of Hank had one of these when I was a toddler (this car is the same age as me) and I referred to it as ‘Hank’s brmmm’. Always liked the idea but unfortunately I couldn’t give it the love it deserves.
Hank also had a land rover and inspired me to own a disco for 17 years so clearly quite an influential person for a very young me.

Yes, more photos please.....even just to look at such a beautiful car. I know that’s not nostalgia talking but rather to appreciate the aesthetics of design.
