[Healeys] Fwd: Interesting Healey

[Patrick & Caroline Quinn]

G’day

 

There were two four cylinder coupes ONX 113 and OAC 1.

 

ONX 113 has the 100S engine and OAC 1 started life with a 100 engine but was later fitted with a six-cylinder. As far as I know OAC 1 does not carry any identification signifying that it is carries a BN3 title. Both my car and the car in the Healey Museum carry BN3 identification. 

 

However having said that my car is BN3/1 and the Healey Museum car is BN3/4. Therefore logic tells me that there must have been a BN3/2 and BN3/3.

I thought OAC 1, Donald Healey’s 100 coupe, had a 100S engine in it. That would have been a far better drive than the dumpy early 6-cylinder engine.

Morning, what do you think about this? (see link below)   Apparently the Healey Museum has some docs and drawing to support it.

G’day Alan

 

You would have read my note about this car.

 

I said:

 

I have seen that car before. It does have some provenance and as it says the car was at the Austin Experimental Workshop sometime in the mid-1950s. As it's known there are a number of six-cylinder prototypes - BN3/1 which is my car, BN3/4 which is in the Healey Museum, all of which gives rise to the question as to what happened to BN3/2 and BN3/3. Now there is OAC 1 that is the six-cylinder coupe and this car. Were they provided with the BN3 model number? Honestly don't know, but what I do know is that both BN3/1 and BN3/4 did not end up with the Austin Experimental Workshop so they (Austin) must have done their modifications on something and this could be it. As to the vents I honestly can't see any design connection with the discrete vents along the flank of the Silverstone as they are completely different - they really are more Buick.

All -

 

Would this be one of the missing BN3s sold off as a BN4?  I wasn't aware of this before, seems to have alot of odd bits on it, roll up windows, vent windows, 100 windscreen but fixed to the bulkhead, etc.,

 

Anyone know the chassis number or history of this?  Sorry if it's been talked about before.
