Hi Michael, my BT7, manufactured in Oct =E2=80=9959, HBT7L445129, has a =
100-6 horn button. I questioned the previous owner on this when I =
bought the car in =E2=80=9974, and he said it had it when he bought it =
in the summer of 1960 from a dealer on Bloor Street, Jim Ferguson. I =
have heard this is not uncommon for early BT7s, but I have never heard =
or seen the same for grill badges.

Best, Mirek

Subject: [Healeys] Early 3000 badging.
=20
Here is one for the early 3000 owners.=20
I'm working on some corrections in the Concours Guidelines and trying to =
get confirmation of something that is stated within them.=20
The Guidelines state "On the BN4, the front grille flash had the number =
"6" in a circle cast into the badge following the "100". This badge may =
also have been used on some of the first 340 BT7/BN7s produced in 1959".
This means that some of the first 3000's would could have had 100/6 =
badging and, in the interests of accuracy, we need to have this =
confirmed.
When the 3000 was introduced there was a lot of razzmatazz and hoopla =
about the "new and improved" engine.
Considering this from the perspective of a buyer of a new 3000 I can =
only imagine that he/she would be incensed if the car was delivered with =
100/6 badging!!=20
Does anyone out there have an early 3000 with original 100/6 badging?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
