[Healeys] Brake Drums and Badge Question

[Patton Dickson]

Some early 3000's were badged 100-Six.   One of the club magizines had
a feature of a 100-Six badged BN7 a couple of years ago, and i think
it was a lister.   Here is a link describing it as well

It sounds like you may have another one of those cars.
