My horn button is a 100/6 I think
I’m on the road until Monday but will take a photo for you.
I also think my BN7 is one of the first 10 built  if I try to connect the dots from docs of the 2 prior owners, both deceased. Legend has it they were built and shipped to San Francisco to race on the Calif road courses at the time. But I can’t prove that either.

Here is one for the early 3000 owners.

I'm working on some corrections in the Concours Guidelines and trying to get confirmation of something that is stated within them.

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!!

Does anyone out there have an early 3000 with original 100/6 badging?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
