Austin Healey 100-6 BN6 Full Restoration Project
 
The Car:




Following on from the successful Austin Healey 100, the second landmark model from this relatively new marque arrived in 1956, the 100-6. The 100-6 used a tuned version of the new BMC "C-series" six cylinder engine in 2639cc form. The new car had a longer wheelbase and featured a 2+2 interior. This model became known internally at BMC as the BN4.

In 1958 a traditional 2 seater version - the BN6, of which 4,150 were built - arrived and used the six-port head that had been introduced in 1957. 100-6 cars can be distinguished from the early four cylinder cars by their chrome finished bonnet air intake and smaller grille.

In 1959 the improved 3000 model arrived and production of the 100-6 in all variants ceased.
