<DIV>There was a model called a "Mille Miglia" in marketing literature and

<DIV>Good morning guys</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I want to throw a cat amongst the pigeons for your
consideration/advice.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Up until yesterday I believed that the only Healey’s to ever come out
with disk brakes prior to there introduction on </DIV>
<DIV>the 3000 MK 1 was on the 100S model and possibly a few Specials</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Trawling the net yesterday to see if I could find the contact details for
a Healey guy I came across a posting buy</DIV>
<DIV>Joe Jarrick the 100 S guru who lives here in Aust.that indicates that
there were a least 40 late 1957 BN 4’s maybe</DIV>
<DIV>even 50 that were produced at either Warwick or maybe Longbridge that
were equipped with 4 Wheel Disk Brakes</DIV>
<DIV>prior to leaving the factory. It also appears that a conversion kit was
available from the dealers at the time</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A quick look through a number of the usual reference books that I
have including Geoff Healey’s and Bill Emerson’s</DIV>
<DIV>books and Roger Moments Restoration Guide makes no reference to there
ever being a 100/4 with disk brakes as </DIV>
<DIV>standard equipment</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What say you, does anyone know anything about this claim and maybe there
are a few more secrets out there we </DIV>
<DIV>don’t know about</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The web site in question including some photo’s of several supposedly
original disk braked cars is as follows</DIV>
