Good morning guys

I want to throw a cat amongst the pigeons for your consideration/advice.

Up until yesterday I believed that the only Healey=E2=80=99s to ever =
come out with disk brakes prior to there introduction on=20
the 3000 MK 1 was on the 100S model and possibly a few Specials

Trawling the net yesterday to see if I could find the contact details =
for a Healey guy I came across a posting buy
Joe Jarrick the 100 S guru who lives here in Aust.that indicates that =
there were a least 40 late 1957 BN 4=E2=80=99s maybe
even 50 that were produced at either Warwick or maybe Longbridge that =
were equipped with 4 Wheel  Disk Brakes
prior to leaving the factory. It also appears that a conversion kit was =
available from the dealers at the time

A quick look through  a number of the usual reference books that I have =
including Geoff Healey=E2=80=99s and Bill Emerson=E2=80=99s
books and Roger Moments Restoration Guide makes no reference to there =
ever being a 100/4 with disk brakes as=20
standard equipment

What say you, does anyone know anything about this claim and maybe there =
are a few more secrets out there we=20
don=E2=80=99t know about

The web site in question including some photo=E2=80=99s of several =
supposedly original disk braked cars is as follows

www;healeysix.net/DiscBrakes.htm

Look forward to your comments
