Gentlemen,
There is very little difference between a stock later 100/Six engine at 117
BHP and the early 3000 engine at a stock 124 BHP. Certainly for normal road
use the noticeable difference would be very little.
Resale??? A 100/Six should be best valued as a 100/Six.
I will never understand why more displacement, horsepower, torque, etc. is
always perceived as better, especially as these cars become more and more
collectable. Each model stood its own in its period of time, and sometimes
it's fun to try to capture that machine as it was in its moment of time and
development.
Modify....improve....faster....bigger....Why is that always thought of as
better???
Of course to each his/her own and what motivates one just doesn't apply to
the next.
I'm currently building up an early 100/Six series BN4 complete with the 2
port gallery head, 4 wheel drum brakes, etc. and having a ball researching
all the early details to get everything right.
Rich
