Pretty well impossible to split 3000 Mk1 from previous 100/6 unless you can read grille or boot badges. For a film released in June 59, 3000 is just possible as released March 59, but a very tight squeeze. However product placement can lubricate even the smallest gaps .... |

Bonnet crest is a confusing clue - seems correct that only some late 100/6 had them - eg /vehicle_854234-Austin-Healey-100-6-BN4-1958.html - but not sure of the exact circumstances. However seems 3000 Mk1 did not have a crest eg http://www.classicandsportscar.ltd.uk/Austin-Healey-3000-MKI/classic-cars-sold/15353 , /vehicle_64426-Austin-Healey-3000-1960.html . -- Last edit: 2016-02-27 04:11:27 |

Update - bonnet crease is confirmed as 100/6 only, so this is 100/6 - http://www.healeysix.net/ModelRange.htm . But "100-6 Models sometimes came with a creased bonnet. One of the mysteries of Healey production, they appeared, disappeared and reappeared in no logical order." - http://www.healeysix.net/bonnet.htm - so impossible to use as a dating feature within 100/6 range. If this is a 2 seater = April 58+ BN6, if a 2/4 seater = Sept 56+ BN4. It all depends how you interpret first thumb with 4 blokes in it - are they sitting on seats or perched in the luggage well behind the seats as found on the 2-seater?? My guess is the luggage well of a 2-seater - you'd never get the hood round their heads in that position .... |
