These classic British roadsters are becoming harder to find and this particular example is in exceptional condition. This car has spent its life in the Pacific Northwest where the temperate climate and well maintained roads have preserved its condition. Drop the top, find a curvy road, and listen to that 6-cylinder rumble. The previous owner of this Austin Healey owned the roadster for nearly 40 years. The car was cherished by the family and driven on only the nicest of days in the Pacific Northwest. The decision to pass it along to the next owner was a difficult one. It took over 3 months before the family decided they were ready to part ways with it. Please call David Martindale @ (503) 453-9669 if you have any questions. The exterior is finished in Blue Metallic with Silver Metallic inserts. The body is very straight and the panel fitment is factory. The paint is just a few years old and still contains a deep luster. A recent detail and polish really brought out the shine. 1956 was the first year of the big grille cars and the only year that contained a center rib in the hood. If you look closely, there are a few minor imperfections and chips that have been touched up, but overall the exterior condition is very nice. The glass windshield is encased in the original Chrome frame including the chrome windshield wiper arms. The chrome still has a deep shine with some minor patina from age. The convertible top features the original bows and frame. The upholstery was likely replaced at some point, but it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly when. The top features a plastic rear window that is not ripped or torn. The chrome bumpers and side molding are in excellent condition as well. There are no dents or dimples and a recent polish brought out a mirror finish. The lenses of the headlights, tail lamps, and turn signals are crystal clear without any cracking or fogging. The Austin Healey rides on Chrome wire wheels with knockoff caps. The wheels are in exceptional shape and do not contain any scrapes or rash from being rubbed against a curb. All four wheels are wrapped in nice steel belted tires. The tires have good tread remaining and are appropriate for a vehicle of this caliber. Open the hood and you find the 2.6 liter inline 6-cylinder engine. We believe this motor to be the original motor that was built with this Austin Healey. It features dual carburetors, electronic fuel pump and electronic ignition. The engine runs exceptionally and features the distinct Austin Healey exhaust note. There are no major leaks, unusual noises, or smoking. The previous owner performed a heater bypass on the cooling system. The heater box along with a few boxes of other miscellaneous parts shown in the trunk photos will be passed along to the high bidder and next owner. The engine is mated to a 4 speed manual transmission with overdrive on the top two gears. The transmission shifts through all of the gears smoothly and the clutch engages without any slips or chatter. The brakes, both front and rear, were done a few years back. They are due for an adjustment and to have the fluid bled, but otherwise stop the vehicle properly. The interior features black carpet and upholstery. Overall, the seats are in very nice condition, although they could use a rewrap for this car to truly be in perfect condition. The majority of the carpet has been replaced and it in very nice condition without any stains or rips. The door panels and dashboard have no cracks and have aged very nicely. All of the gauges in the instrument cluster and dashboard work properly including the fuel gauge, speedometer, and tachometer. Feel free to give me a call to discuss any questions you have about the Austin Healey. If you would like to have someone check out the vehicle before bidding, I am comfortable with that as well. Don't miss this opportunity to purchase this beautiful and semi-restored Austin Healey 100! These classic automobiles are becoming harder to find and continue to appreciate in value. It’s not every day you see one that was loved and cherished for over 40 years by one family. With a bit of love and fine tuning, this car could be the something truly special.

Odometer reads 91,903


*No Reserve*

Here is your chance to own a beautiful and unique 1956 Austin Healey 100. These classic British roadsters are becoming harder to find and this particular example is in exceptional condition. This car has spent its life in the Pacific Northwest where the temperate climate and well maintained roads have preserved its condition. Drop the top, find a curvy road, and listen to that 6-cylinder rumble.

The previous owner of this Austin Healey owned the roadster for nearly 40 years. The car was cherished by the family and driven on only the nicest of days in the Pacific Northwest. The decision to pass it along to the next owner was a difficult one. It took over 3 months before the family decided they were ready to part ways with it.

The exterior is finished in Blue Metallic with Silver Metallic inserts. The body is very straight and the panel fitment is factory. The paint is just a few years old and still contains a deep luster. A recent detail and polish really brought out the shine. 1956 was the first year of the big grille cars and the only year that contained a center rib in the hood. If you look closely, there are a few minor imperfections and chips that have been touched up, but overall the exterior condition is very nice.

The glass windshield is encased in the original Chrome frame including the chrome windshield wiper arms. The chrome still has a deep shine with some minor patina from age. The convertible top features the original bows and frame. The upholstery was likely replaced at some point, but it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly when. The top features a plastic rear window that is not ripped or torn.

The chrome bumpers and side molding are in excellent condition as well. There are no dents or dimples and a recent polish brought out a mirror finish. The lenses of the headlights, tail lamps, and turn signals are crystal clear without any cracking or fogging.

The Austin Healey rides on Chrome wire wheels with knockoff caps. The wheels are in exceptional shape and do not contain any scrapes or rash from being rubbed against a curb. All four wheels are wrapped in nice steel belted tires. The tires have good tread remaining and are appropriate for a vehicle of this caliber.

Open the hood and you find the 2.6 liter inline 6-cylinder engine. We believe this motor to be the original motor that was built with this Austin Healey. It features dual carburetors, electronic fuel pump and electronic ignition. The engine runs exceptionally and features the distinct Austin Healey exhaust note. There are no major leaks, unusual noises, or smoking.

The previous owner performed a heater bypass on the cooling system. The heater box along with a few boxes of other miscellaneous parts shown in the trunk photos will be passed along to the high bidder and next owner.

The engine is mated to a 4 speed manual transmission with overdrive on the top two gears. The transmission shifts through all of the gears smoothly and the clutch engages without any slips or chatter.

The brakes, both front and rear, were done a few years back. They are due for an adjustment and to have the fluid bled, but otherwise stop the vehicle properly.

The interior features black carpet and upholstery. Overall, the seats are in very nice condition, although they could use a rewrap for this car to truly be in perfect condition. The majority of the carpet has been replaced and it in very nice condition without any stains or rips. The door panels and dashboard have no cracks and have aged very nicely. All of the gauges in the instrument cluster and dashboard work properly including the fuel gauge, speedometer, and tachometer.
