Description
Background Introduced in 1956, the 100/6 represented the most radical step forward in the Big Healey's development.
Despite its initial success, sales of the original Austin-Healey 100 had begun to decline by the mid-1950s, so the model was revamped as the 100/6, with BMC’s 2.6-litre C-series six replacing the original four-cylinder Austin Atlantic engine.
At the same time, the wheelbase was lengthened from 7' 6" to 7' 8", enabling the inclusion of two occasional seats in the rear of the BN4 variant.
