1957 Austin-Healey 100-Six BN4
Chassis No. BN4L041400
Includes British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate
The Ideal Driver Set up Nicely for Touring and Club Events
Well-Kept Professional Restoration with Fresh Mechanical Tune
Accompanied by an Extensive File of Restoration and Service Receipts
Complete with Spare Assembly, Weather Equipment & Tonneau Cover
Following on the heels of the tremendously successful Austin-Healey 100-Four, the 100-Six addressed a number of
concerns yet still remained unmistakably true to the Healey breed. A wider oval-shaped grille, a fashionable and
functional hood-scoop and a thoroughly revised interior gave the 100-series a visual upgrade, while a stretched
wheelbase, an optional overdrive fourth gear and a modified BMC C-Series inline six-cylinder engine helped boost
performance. The new availability of a pair of "occasional" jump seats in the BN4 2+2 models - the 100-Six was
still ideal for, in the words of period advertising, "either in competition or just for a family holiday spin."
Beautifully Presented Big Healey - The Ultimate 100-Six Driver
Still a highly capable open-top sports car today, this outstanding example presented here is what marque
enthusiasts would consider the ultimate 100-Six driver. According to the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust,
41400 was completed on the 3rd of May 1957 as a LHD North American Export destined to the United States through New
York. The car came well equipped with chrome wire wheels, overdrive, heater and laminated windscreen.
A sunny California car, finished in red paintwork over tan appointments, this particular roadster was subjected to
a thorough and extensive rotisserie restoration completed in 2005. New equipment addressed during the restoration
included: a complete Connolly Leather interior upholstery, wool carpeting, 72-Spoke chrome wheels w/195/70 - R15
tires, Stay-fast Canvas Top and Tonneau Cover, side curtains, front disk brakes with power booster, springs &
shocks (front & rear), wire harness, brake lines, cables and virtually every available component on the vehicle!
Three point belts and third brake light add safety in modern traffic, while spare assembly and weather equipment
accompany the Healey. Additionally there is an extensive service and restoration file/binder that will accompany
the sale.
The drivability of this 100-Six is simply unmatched; during the restoration it was upgraded with a beautifully
worked 3000 Triple-Carbureted engine and drivetrain with Teflon bushing suspension, all dialed in with plenty test
miles under its belt. In the years following its restoration, the car has be successfully toured, shown, driven and
enjoyed extensively and is now ready for its next caretaker to continue the tradition.
Sporting a fresh tune and detailing, this beautifully presented "Big Healey" is the ideal candidate for enthusiasts
of the classic sporting lines, raw power and handling so unique to these period British machines.

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Aston CEO claims Cygnet cancelled because Toyota is dropping iQ in 2014
Sun, 27 Oct 2013While slow sales and a $50,000 price tag may have been contributing factors to the Aston Martin Cygnet being cancelled last month, Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez is pointing the finger at Toyota for the demise of this luxurious little city car. In a discussion with Autocar, Bez is quoted as saying that the ultimate reason the Cygnet was cut is because Toyota plans on dropping the iQ (on which the Cygnet is based) in 2014 - a claim denied by the Japanese automaker.
Interestingly, the article also cites another publication reporting that a Toyota importer in the Netherlands heard the same news as Bez, and it has already stopped importing the cars. If the European Toyota iQ is cancelled, that would likely spell the end of the slow-selling Scion iQ in the US, which has sold just 3,365 units through September (a drop of 51 percent year over year).
Regardless of why production of the Cygnet ended, Bez also says that a lack of support from Toyota on the project prevented it from being offered in the US or receiving a supercharged engine, which are two factors that likely would have made the car appealing to more buyers.
