This 1957 Austin-Healey is a works style 100/6 Austin Healey fitted with a very fast road tuned 3000 engine, and finished in black with a black and red interior. The car was fully rebuilt in 2012 by a good Austin Healey independent expert (Alan Haste Coachworks) and was being used as his private car until the vendor purchased it in 2016. It was built utilising a spare race prepared 3 litre engine from a Pat Cooper hill climb Healey 3000, built with forged crank and cylinder head by Dennis Welch.
This is an original right hand drive car with the original buff logbook in the history file, and was first registered on the 10th May 1957. The car was registered to Kathleen Goodall who lived in Oxfordshire. The car has been tuned up on the rolling road and produces 200HP with a very good flat 250 ft./lbs. toque curve.
