The 100-6 marked a significant evolution with its new 2.6-liter BMC C-Series straight-six, replacing the original four-cylinder engine. While power increased modestly to 102 horsepower, the smoother six-cylinder character and improved four-speed transmission enhanced refinement. The longer bonnet accommodated the new engine, while 2+2 seating expanded practicality—though the rear seats remained suitable only for children or luggage. Built at Longbridge over three years, 14,436 examples made the 100-6 reasonably common among Healey variants. The six-cylinder engine proved more robust than its predecessor, with better parts availability today. Collectors often overlook the 100-6 in favor of the original 100 or later 3000, creating opportunities for discerning buyers. Clean examples offer classic Healey character with improved reliability, making them excellent entry points into Austin-Healey ownership while maintaining authentic 1950s sports car appeal.
