G'day
Relax your search has finished as soon as it started.
It's not a production car however if you want the first 100-Six you must
mean the Donald Healey Motor Company experimental car X207 or BN3/1. It
was originally built as a pre-production car and used in the factory for
all sorts of weird and wonderful 4-cylinder things until used as the
mobile test bed for the new 6-cylinder engine and 4-seater body
configuration.
The car, registered NWD 977 was then sold off (to help pay for the DHMC
wages) and still exists. In fact I had a look at it this morning in my
barn.
I am quite happy for the car to be feted around the world at this
auspicious occasion - as long as my wife and I go as well.

Subject: Earliest 100-Six?
Hey Listers,
As anyone one of you worth your salt knows, next year is the Golden
Anniversary of the least appreciated of our glorious Austin-Healeys, the
BN4 series 100-Sixes. Finally one of the best cars in our long list,
will be honor as deserved.
BS aside, I am looking for the earliest built car. In my Registry, I
have
BN4 28112. Does anyone have or know of an earlier car?
Any leads appreciated.
