The body and chassis were given to custom coach in Fort Lauderdale for a body off restoration.  She was born Colorado Red as shown on the British motor heritage certificate. When restoration was started, it was BRG paint. On dash was a plaque stating “Dallas Texas”, so it is assumed it was a Texas car…I love the Healey Blue over old English White, with Navy Blue interior.

The engine was completely disassembled and rebuilt to as New Condition with all original or nos items. The wiring harness was completely replaced with a new cloth covered loom per the original. Most electrical items were replaced with either nos items or reproductions available from many British parts suppliers. Very Rare DESIRABLE 6 port head, as she was built towards the end of the production run for the 100-6 series. The 6 port head was standard on 3000 series.

Equipped with optional electric overdrive adding 2 additional gears! The transmission was completely disassembled and rebuilt using all new gears including the lay gear which were sourced over 18 month period and being found from the U.K. to Canada, as well as the U.S. As the original parts were becoming scarce, it was decided to have ALL OF THE GEARS FINISHED WITH AIRCRAFT GRADE TEFLON COATING to insure the longest life possible, as well as ONE OF THE SMOOTHEST SHIFTING HEALEYS YOU WILL EVER DRIVE.

ICE COLD FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING; A few years after completion, several rare items were found and installed. The first being an ORIGINAL N.O.S. - A/C UNIT (still sealed in the original box) Coolaire of Miami, BMC Factory AUTHORIZED under dash air conditioning unit! This unit was installed using all modern components under the hood such as the condenser and compressor. THE ULTIMATE AMERICAN-STYLE ACCESSORY; in the 1966, BMC/Hambro introduced “Air Conditioning for BMC Cars” in a BMC Parts Sales Bulletin to its U.S. Dealers. The kit was manufactured by Coolaire in Miami, Florida. The big problem with A/C was the retail price of $335 to $385 which was about 10% of the full retail price of the car.

The next step was finding a factory built hard top, which was completely restored allowing the cold air to say where it belonged.

This 1958 Austin Healey 100-6 thoroughbred roadster has been driven from Fort Lauderdale to as far away as Winston Salem, North Carolina where it received first place in it class at “the gathering” British meet. This roadster has WON many - FIRST PLACE TROPHY’S throughout the southeast!!!!

TUNES; Sony AM/FM/CD player! Speakers (2 of them) are located deep into the foot wells and is operated with a hand held remote control. There is a manual radio antennae mounted on the front fender. There is an amplifier mounted on the gas fill tube cover tucked in the back of the trunk.

GAGES; were rebuilt by Westfield Instruments. The “trafficator” or turn signal is a switch located above the horn button on the center of the steering wheel and was completely rebuilt and works properly.

SEAT BELTS; were added for both front and rear seats for safety, as well as local laws NOW REQUIRING them even for classic cars!

TONNEAU COVER; is blue that can be unzipped for use during driving for 1 or 2 people and stores easily in the trunk.

ENGINE and BAY; are excellent with a Show Motor that has benefitted from professional attention. The motor is the 2900cc inline 6 cylinder with twin S.U. HD8 side draught carburetors. The engine was kept basically stock with the exception of a few aesthetic upgrades such as: Polishing the pots of the S.U carbs. When the radiator was removed disassembled and striped, the seller found the “head” of the radiator was actually brass that was painted black by factory. Instead of painting it, it was re-plated and polished. The Original valve cover was stripped and chrome plated, as were many brackets that were originally chromed and a few that weren’t. The motor runs strong and is extremely reliable and can cruise @100 m.p.h – an Oil cooler was installed below the front bumper which aids in cooling during extremely hot days along with a thermostatically controlled fan on the radiator!

EXHAUST SYSTEM is an original design product fabricated in stainless steel and jet coated black giving this Healey a marvelous exhaust note. The muffler and header pipe were replaced as well.

CONVERTIBLE TOP; has only been erected 4 times and is like new “Navy Blue”. The convertible top frame was restored.

INTERIOR; all new leather with “dynamat” sound and heat shield matting was placed under all carpeted areas. The carpet was replaced using Wilton with all the correct rubber flooring inserts. The seat frames and pans were replaced, as were the rear seat pans before being recovered. The seatbacks TILT FORWARD to allow rear passengers easy access. The door panels were also done in leather. All interior chrome pieces were re-plated down to the rings around gages. The heater control unit is new.

BODY; was painted using a clear base / clearcoat to match the original colors using a formula furnished by one of the top Healey restoration shops, with Navy Blue Leather interior. BODY; went through a 3 year process of being stripped down and re-built with new floor pans for the passenger compartment, as well as the trunk floor. Several other worn braces and chassis outriggers were replaced or repaired as needed until the chassis was in as NEW CONDITION.

COLORS are “Healey Blue” over “Old English White” with an all Navy Blue leather interior.

TRANSMISSION; all gears were sent to an aircraft coatings company that applies TEFLON to high friction components extending the life of the component. Gears are becoming short in supply “scarce”, and this was a good insurance policy for the future.

CARBURETORS were rebuilt by CARB SPECIALIST “Joe Curto”.

ARMSTRONG lever type shocks were rebuilt by Apple Hydraulics, a specialist with this product.

ALL DOCUMENTATION WILL GO TO NEW OWNER - A COMPLETE LIST OF SUPPLIERS. WAY TOO MUCH TO ADD.

RADIATOR and five blade cooling along with electric fan circumvent the cars propensity to overheat. Best of all, it is a phenomenal driving car that imparts the pleasure and satisfaction of driving the ultimate Healey.

The restoration on this particular car strikes a nice balance between beautiful street presence and usability that is sure to make this car among the new owner’s favorite cars to actually drive.
