Hardtops for Healeys:The Austin Healey had as an accesory a rather handsome hardtop. These tops were used by the BMC competition department to run the 100/6 and 3000 cars in the GT classes. Healey Gearing Chart:This link is for a Gearing Chart of the factory gearing with speeds per RPM for a 100 SIx plus a matrix showing the speeds per RPM of various combinations of 22 or 28% overdrives and rear end gear sets from 4.11:1 to 3.54:1. Here is a comprehensive story with pictures from Classic and Sportscar Magazine about the Austin Healey 4000 project near the end of the Big Healey's life. Period Modifications:And here is a very cool article I just found in a car mag from 1958!It's a great review of the 100-6 and how well it can be modified to race! There are photos to boot!
