The Big Healey is one of the definitive examples of the true
British sportscar. The 100-6 was a departure from the early
four-cylinder Austin-Healey cars when they installed the legendary
BMC C-Series inline-six. This torquey 2.6-liter engine transformed
the car into a smooth 100mph+ machine capable of running with best,
and effortlessly over long distances. With a production date of
December 13, 1956, that would make this particular car one of the
last cars built at the original plant in Longbridge before
production was moved to the MG plant in Abingdon. It was optioned
from the factory with overdrive, wire wheels, heater, heavy-duty
battery, dual vertical dip headlights, and a mph speedometer.
Coachworks Automotive Restoration in Victoria, British Columbia
restored the car from 2012-2014. They are well know for their class
wins at Pebble Beach Concours, as well as Best of Show awards at
concours like The Quail. The restoration was a complete
body-off-frame affair done in the manner of all of Coachworks
concours winning restorations. The numbers matching engine was
rebuilt as well all of the mechanical elements of the car.
Cosmetically the car was refinished perfectly with immense
attention to detail inside and out.
The result of this beautiful work is assuredly a future
show-winning Healey. In addition to its inevitable concours
trophies, the Healey is also eligible for premiere vintage motoring
events like the California Mille and the Colorado Grand.
