GARAGE FIND 1957 AUSTIN HEALEY 100-6 BN4
IN STORAGE 50 YEARS
JUST FINISHED $7K SERVICE!!!!!
This is one of those once in a lifetime garage finds that you hear or read about and wonder why you never stumble
on to an opportunity like that. It is an early big Healey that has not yet been restored but is not a total basket
case pulled out of a field. Most collectible British cars generally fall into three categories; 1) restored
correctly and cost a fortune, 2) restored cheaply covering up a rusty car, or 3) a complete basket case which you
should run from as fast as you can. This is a complete car, unrestored and NOT FULL OF TERMINAL RUST. It was
painted once in the early 60’s. It appears the color was changed from black with red coves to the current
orange/white color combination (Why would someone change to those colors??). The current owner bought the car in
1964. Yes you read that right, same owner for the last 52 years!. It started out in Arizona, was purchased by the
current owner’s brother in the early 60’s and then she bought it in 1964 from him. It was driven very sparingly
for a couple years until parked in a garage in 1966. It sat there until a few months ago when it was brought to
Layland Motors to get road-worthy in order to sell it.
