The 1958 Austin Healey 100/6 Mille Miglia is an easily recognisable British sports car known for its performance, style, and racing history. Part of the popular Healey 100 series, the “100/6” name indicates the car’s 100 mph top speed and six-cylinder engine.

Introduced in 1956, the 100/6 featured a 2.6-litre straight-six engine, which provided 117 horsepower and improved performance compared to its four-cylinder predecessor. This made the car smoother and more powerful, making it a favourite for both road races and rallies.

The Mille Miglia edition is particularly famous. The Mille Miglia is a tough 1,000-mile race in Italy, and the 100/6 was specially prepared for it. Enhancements included better suspension, a stronger chassis, and aerodynamic tweaks to handle the race’s challenges.

Visually, the 1958 Austin Healey 100/6 Mille Miglia is a classic example of British sports car design. It features a long front end, wire-spoke wheels, and a simple, driver-focused interior. Its low, sleek shape and smooth lines reflect the style of the time beautifully.

Our 1958 Austin Healey 100/6 Mille Miglia was originally supplied to a dealer in America. Back then, it was Ivory White and Black over a Black interior. When the car returned to the UK, in the 1990s, it underwent some restorative work and was finished in Blue over Old English Cream – the undeniably recognisable Austin Healey colours.

Ooh, you beauty! :wub:

This is the incredible 991.2 model 911 Carrera 4 GTS with a 3.0L flat 6 producing 444 BHP. This thing is rapid, launching from 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds and going on to over 190mph!

The handling, like all Porsches, is just mindblowing. Thanks to the PDK automatic gearbox, it really is a joy to drive. Whether you’re hooning it about or cruising with the top down, the sports exhaust will blow your mind. This car sounds incredible!

This is the best example we have seen with over £20,000 in optional extras. The Guard’s red colour against the 20″ Multispoke Black alloys work so well. Full GTS black leather & alcantara interior with heated seats, climate control, auto lights, wipers, cruise control, Sat Nav, Park Assist, Bose Audio System, & honestly so much more.

This is a real life-changing prize that we cannot wait for you to win. Alternatively, you can take the huge £65,000 Cash Alternative.

So it's all well and good having comps for these amazing cars but on just about every one of them I'd be taking the cash as the running costs would be horrendous.

I'd be much more up for entering comps for lower value and more everyday cars and vans if they were better at better odds - Is there a site doing this sort of thing?

Yes there is, i just put up the more glamorous stuff. But a few of the comp sites do lots of other things, Ninja ovens, garden furniture, play stations etc and a lot of cheaper cars too some on autodraws. Have a scroll down some of these...
