About the Austin-Healey 100/6
The 100-Six replaced the four-cylinder Austin-Healey 100 in 1956, with a 2,639 cc BMC C-series six and a wheelbase two inches longer. It was built as the BN4 2+2 and, from 1958, also as the BN6 two-seater, until the 3000 took over in 1959. Power rose from 102 bhp to 117 bhp in 1957 with a revised cylinder head and manifold.
What moves the price
- Body: far fewer BN6 two-seaters were built than BN4 2+2s.
- The chassis and body, the weakest parts of the car, with panels that are hard and expensive to find.
- Matching chassis and engine numbers, and how original the panels are.
Before you buy, check
- As on all the big Healeys, the chassis rails and outriggers, the floor, the sills and the A- and B-posts, on a lift.
- The chassis number against the Austin-Healey records.
- Signs of overheating, which on these cars usually means silted waterways, a sludged radiator or wrong ignition timing.
