1956 Austin Healey 100 on 2040-cars
Toledo, Ohio, United States
In 2013 I undertook a frame off restoration where the condition was documented and rust repair completed. The
sills, floors, rockers were replaced. The outriggers and rear crossmember were repaired. There was little body
rust to repair. The paint is single stage acrylic enamel and there is a definite feel of the paint between the two
colors, as it should be. The interior is correct leather and carvel carpet from Heritage in Vancouver. The
Heritage Certificate that goes with the car documents that it was originally white over black. The unique thing on
this car is that it originally had a black engine compartment and boot. This is documented by photos from the
paint stripping process showing that there is no evidence of any white paint in those areas. It is well known that
the factory experimented with painting the engine compartments of white cars black near the end of the 100
production run. Body number here is 14099 so it is very near the end.
The engine and transmission behave fine so they were not rebuilt when the car was apart. Cold oil pressure is
around 60 and drops to about 40 when hot. Chrome wire wheels are new Dunlops. Also included is a complete tool
kit.

Andy Palmer leaves Renault-Nissan to serve as CEO of Aston Martin
Tue, 02 Sep 2014Aston Martin has been without a helmsman since Ulrich Bez stepped down from the chief executive office at the end of last year, stepping back to serve as non-executive chairman in a semi-retired ambassadorial capacity. The British automaker, now on the cusp of a new era, has been running without a CEO since, but has now named Bez's replacement in Andy Palmer.
If you don't recognize the name, you should: Palmer has worked under the Renault-Nissan Alliance for decades now, rising through the ranks to become one of the top executives under Carlos Ghosn. Most recently he was serving as executive vice president of the entire group and chairman of the Infiniti brand, but like Carlos Tavares, who recently left Renault to run Peugeot, Palmer is now embarking on a new mission as CEO of Aston Martin.
Once the transition period is complete at the start of October, Palmer's role as Chief Planning Officer at Renault-Nissan will be assumed by Philippe Klein, who steps up from his current role as executive vice president of product planning for Renault. Read the statements from both companies below.
Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
