Austin Healey 100/6

The British Motor Corporation saw the Austin Healey as an integral part of their lineup, so when the company's strategy changed, it was clear that the big sports car also needed a change. In 1956 the 100/4 was succeeded by the Austin Healey 100-6. The old A90 four was considered obsolete, so it was replaced by a new six-cylinder of about the same size.

The 100-6 had a 2-inch wheelbase stretch. Some components were repositioned in the tail to make room for the tiny "+2" rear bucket seats. In terms of styling, the Austin Healey 100-6 was much the same as its predecessor, except for a new oval grille, fixed windshield, choice of wire-spoke or steel-disc wheels, and a hood with a small functional air intake at the front. The big difference was the new 6-cylinder engine. This was BMC's corporate C-series large car unit, a large 2.64-liter cast iron track with overhead, more powerful than the old big four (102 vs. 90 horsepower). Like the BN2, a 4-speed manual transmission was standard, although on the Austin Healey 100-6 (designated BN4) overdrive was an extra option.

Autumn 1957 brought two important developments. First came an important strategic move, when BMC decided to centralize the assembly of all its sports cars; this meant that Austin Healey production was moved from Longbridge to the MG factory in Abingdon. At about the same time, a much-improved engine appeared, with a redesigned cylinder head and more efficient peak power boosted to 117 hp. The two-seater returned as an addition to the line known as the BN6, while assembly of the BN4 was suspended until the existing inventory was cleared.
