Austin-Healey 100 /6 BN4 '58 1958

Allmän beskrivning : With a concise photo reportage The British roadster summit of the fifties Hardly anything to fault both inside and out Idyllic color scheme The Austin-Healey 100/6 was introduced in the autumn of 1956 as the successor to the famous Austin-Healey 100/4, also the first model ever produced by Austin-Healey. The number 100 stood for the fact that the top speed of the 100 was almost exactly one hundred miles per hour. The 4, on the other hand, stood for the number of cylinders. With the arrival of the 100/6, the engine became slightly more powerful, and as the name suggests, there were six cylinders, again arranged in line. Fitting a six-cylinder engine into the same frame where previously a four-cylinder resided was not easy. The car had to become larger, or space had to be freed up. It was chosen to lengthen the chassis a bit, stretch and lower the grille in width, and provide a 'hood scoop' from the first hour, which had the additional advantage of making the whole thing not unfairly look more sporty. For this reason, the 100/6 was sometimes seen on rally circuits. Even today, it is often used as a rally car. Over the years, Austin-Healey, under BMC, occasionally updated the car, and they also released this British roadster in a four-seater variant, which is ideal for young families with children. The engine also became more powerful: from 102 hp to 117 hp, this was achieved through reworking the exhaust manifold and using a different cylinder head. The last Austin-Healey 100/6 rolled off the production line in 1959 to be succeeded by the 3000, which, together with the 100/6 and the 100/4, is sometimes referred to as the 'Big Healeys'. Approximately fourteen thousand units were produced in total. Austin-Healeys are sought-after classic cars, and the 100/6 is no exception, quite the contrary. They are sought after by a very eclectic audience and they have something to offer to virtually everyone.

om Austin-Healey
Austin-Healey var en brittisk sportbil gör skapats som ett joint venture mellan Austin uppdelningen av British Motor Corporation (BMC) och Donald Healey Motor Company.

Första Healey modell, Healey 100, baserades på Austin A90 Atlantic mekanik och utvecklats av Donald Healey att bygga i egen regi. De avslutade en enda Healey Hundred för 1952 London Motor Show. Leonard Lord, VD för Austin blev så imponerad av den design som en affär vederbörligen slog med Healey och bilen bytte namn till Austin-Healey 100 natten. Austin Healey föddes. 100 härleds i 100-sex, och annorlunda 3000 versioner innan de avslutar produktionen 1968 som den grundläggande designen hade äntligen blivit föråldrade.
