Factory-Original Austin-Healey 100/6 & 3000 : The originality guide to six-cylinder Austin-Healeys, 1956-1968
The Austin-Healey 100, designed by Donald Healey and his team, was a major success. In 1956, it was succeeded by the six-cylinder 2.6-litre 100/6, initially a 2+2 seater, with a two-seat version introduced in 1958. In 1959, the more powerful 3000 model replaced both, available as a two-seater or 2+2, now with disc brakes.
The Mk II 3000, launched in 1961, offered a rare 132bhp two-seater with triple carburettors and side screens or a more refined 2+2 convertible with wind-up windows. The final version, the Mk III of 1964, was 2+2 only, featuring 150bhp, a wood-veneered dashboard, and improved fittings.
Admired today as when new, these "Big Healeys" combine classic styling with strong performance and open-air driving appeal. Marque expert Bill Piggott details the correct specifications and features of all models, illustrated by over 350 high-quality photographs.
The book covers body panels, trim, badging, paint colours, interiors, dashboards, instruments, engines, transmissions, lighting, and even tool kits, offering essential reference material for owners and enthusiasts.
