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.

Mercedes to offer SL, GL platforms to Aston Martin?
Sun, 23 Mar 2014The agonizingly slow courtship between Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz has been a regular topic of conversation ever since the 2009 Lagonda Concept debuted, riding on a Mercedes GL chassis. Beyond that one polarizing concept, though, nearly every other attempt to pair the two brands up in a major way has fallen through. Only the technical partnership between Mercedes and Aston for certain components from AMG, which was negotiated back in July, has held up so far.
That may finally be set to change, according to an excellent profile of the two brands' relationship from Automobile, which claims that two platforms will unite the Germans and Brits. The first tie up is, not surprisingly, a sports car.
As Aston Martin's VH platform - which underpins every car that comes out of Gaydon - continues to age, the pressure will well and truly be on Aston to find a next-gen replacement to underpin the successors to the Vantage, Vanquish, DB9 and Rapide. Automobile claims Mercedes has just such an architecture, in the form its new modular sports car platform. This new platform is slated for the next-generation SLK and SL and is still in its design infancy.
2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform
Tue, 29 Oct 2013A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.
Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
