IThis is one such typical car that has become part of a family over the years. The car is beautifully documented, not in the sense of: nice general information about the model. No, a pile of bills that you say to yourself. This example has already been completely overhauled and restored. The restoration was carried out by specialist Michiel Capelle. The overhaul was carried out by another specialist and the maintenance was always carried out by Michiel Capelle. The car still looks to pass through a ring. This is a 1959 Austin Healey 100/6 2-seater in beautiful condition. The car has been with the same owner for twenty years and is still in very good condition.

The body is in beautiful condition. The sheet metal fits beautifully everywhere and is neatly thin everywhere. The car was completely repainted during the restoration. The work was done very well at the time and the paint still looks well cared for. The convertible top is also in good condition and easy to operate. The hood fits well everywhere and is in good condition. The car stands on beautiful gray wire wheels with good tires in the correct sizes. The bumpers were re-chromed at the time and are also in good condition. Finally, at the back we see a beautiful stainless steel exhaust.

The inside of the car was completely reupholstered during the restoration. This work was again carried out with great eye for originality and quality. It is not only the processed materials that are of great beauty, but also the way in which they are applied. The leather is still very supple and the carpets fit well everywhere. The top of the dashboard has also been completely reupholstered and is also still in very good condition. The Smith instruments are also in good condition and of course function as they should.

The technique of the Austin Healey has already been completely overhauled and has been very well maintained since then. The engine runs beautifully and is also quite powerful. The 100/6 proves once again that little can compete with the sound and running culture of a six-in-line. The Healey is of course not a heavy car in itself and is therefore a pleasure to drive. To make covering longer distances a success, the Healey is equipped with overdrive. The brakes and chassis are very fit and contribute to the enormous driving pleasure that this Austin Healey can offer. The car has been used extensively in the past to drive multiple tour rallies. It is inevitable that such a trip should be a fantastic experience. The engine produces 117 hp and is still top fit. The Healey is basically a top designed car and even after all these years, it still drives like that.

As previously described, the documentation that comes with the car is the icing on the cake. All work is described and all used parts can also be found in the invoices. It can of course not be a coincidence that this is an Austin Healey that is still in such good condition.
