1957 Austin Healey 100/6

This car took part in The HSCC Pre '60 Historic Sports Car Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1986.

It's Peter Riley's 1957 Austin Healey 100/6 with what the programme of the event says was a 2,912cc engine - presumably the one that powered the Austin Healey 3000.  The Austin Healey 100/6 was a replacement for the Austin Healey 100 (or 100/4) and was  produced from 1956 to 1959. It had a six-cylinder inline engine with a capacity of 2,639cc.

This photograph was taken at the HSCC's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992 and shows three Austin Healeys that took part in the HSCC Classic Sports Car Championship race at that event.

The car on the left is the 1961 Austin Healey 3000 of David Summerson, a car that was produced between 1959 and 1967 with a straight-six 2,912cc engine, although the programme says this car had a capacity of 2,996cc. The other two cars are both examples of the Austin Healey 100/6, the predecessor of the 3000 and produced from 1956 to 1959. It also had a straight-six engine with a capacity of 2,639cc. The middle car is the 1958 car of Rob Wilson, a car that the programme says has an engine of 2,962cc, and the car on the right is Eddie Falkous' 1957 model which has a 2,996cc engine according to the programme.
