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 says Alabama is 'obvious choice' for US plant

Wed, May 20 2015

Aston Martin is gearing up to be the next foreign automaker to build an assembly plant in the United States – and it looks like it'll be in Alabama. Speaking with Automotive News Europe, company CEO Andy Palmer said that he and his team will make a decision on the prospect of building its second factory, and that the Yellowhammer State was the "obvious choice" for its location. The possibility first came up on our radar last month, after Aston reportedly held discussions with representatives of state governments in the South. The plant would be earmarked to handle production of the DBX. Slated to be the company's first crossover, it was previewed in concept form at the Geneva show in March. "Our principal customers will be in the United States and China," Palmer said to ANE. However, the US would apparently be preferable to building a plant in China, from which it would be more difficult to export vehicles to other markets and where Aston would need to form a joint venture with a local manufacturer. The prospect of building its plant in the same state where Mercedes builds its SUVs would offer certain advantages as well: Aston has inked a deal with the German automaker to supply some systems and components. The British automaker has also long-been rumored to be considering building a crossover based on the same platform as the GL-Class (soon to be redubbed GLS), although that may or may not take the form of the DBX. Aston Martin is working toward ramping up production from the 4,000 units it sold last year to as many as 15,000. "If we went to three shifts" at the current plant in Gaydon, said Palmer, "we would be at 15,000 a year, so theoretically we could do it but you'd have no room for stoppage for maintenance.

Aston Martin waxes poetic about the good life with The Art of Vanquish

Thu, Apr 3 2014

Aston Martin markets itself as offering the classy alternative to hardcore sports cars. Its vehicles are certainly capable, but they are also sold as offering an extra dose of luxury to go along with their power. The company is leaning hard into that image in a new short film called The Art of Vanquish. Over the grumble of the coupe's V12, the announcer reads a poem about the metaphor of life's journey, and it positions the Vanquish as a symbol of progress. The film is interspersed with shots of luxury goods like thickly upholstered leather chairs and products from sound system maker Bang & Olufsen, men's clothier Hackett London and Swiss watchmaker Jaeger Le Coultre. The production team True Motion Pictures created the short and has also done projects for Audi and Sony, among other companies. Of course, the idea that Aston Martins and other luxury goods are a symbol of life's adventure is a little contrived. It's still just a car after all – albeit an absolutely gorgeous one. Still, the film is an opportunity for a closer look at the Vanquish, and its wonderful growl is featured throughout. Scroll down to watch the video and be swathed in its poetic concept of luxury.

2020 Virtual Geneva Motor Show Editors' Picks

Fri, Mar 6 2020

There may not have been an actual Geneva Motor Show this year, but there were still loads of car reveals that happened the week that the show would have happened. So we still wanted to highlight what our favorites of the would-be show. Our list of cars seemed to match the theme of the reveals, too, highlighting over-the-top supercars and forward thinking electric vehicles. Scroll down to see our favorites. Fifth Place: Aston Martin V12 Speedster - 21 points Managing Editor, Greg Rasa: Astons are works of art, and this one's ready for the Louvre. The design nods to Aston history are nifty. It looks like a jet fighter, except those have canopies. Not sure what 186 mph would be like in this, but don't try it in summer when there are bugs. Contributing Editor, Joe Lorio: Admittedly, this one is a little silly. A $950,000 sports car with no roof? A 700-hp two-seater with no windshield? But the offerings at the Geneva auto show have always tilted toward absurdity, and Aston’s V12 Speedster is endearingly outrageous as a fighter plane for the street. Third Place (Tie): Volkswagen ID.4 - 26 points Senior Producer, Chris McGraw: I don't have much to say about this other than I am a huge fan of more EVs coming to the market, which is why two-thirds of my picks are electric, including the ID.4. Producer, Alex Malberg: Any new fully-electric crossover is a vote for me. The fact it doesn't look terrible and VW will be including AWD later are bonuses.  Third Place (Tie): Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio GTA - 26 points Road Test Editor, Zac Palmer: Hard to argue with the logic of this one. The Giulia Quadrifoglio is already the best driver in this class of hot sedans, so why not extend the lead with a special model. That wing is Type R levels of high, and I completely approve. Associate Editor, Byron Hurd: Love this car. Love it, love it, love it. It's beautiful, aggressive and fast. I'd take it over an M3 or C63 any day. As cool as the GTAm is, though, I'd rather stick to the four-seat GTA. Something about a four-door car with two seats just doesn't really work for me. I haven't alienated ALL of my friends quite yet. Second Place: Hyundai Prophecy - 35 points Senior Editor, Green, John Snyder: I get whiffs of the Genesis Coupe from this sleek concept. I like the focus on form, with interesting details to discover if you look for them. West Coast Editor, James Riswick: Does it look like a Porsche? Sure, but Porsches look neat.
