<DIV>Sounds as though I will have to improve my education and get a copy

<P>Graeme,</P>
<P>In the book Austin-Healey A celebration of the fabulous "Big" Healey by Bill
Piggott he writes on page 79 about the "Rare disc braked 100-Six" The author
even owned one of these cars in the mid-1980's. <BR></P>
<P>He also claims that there were 50 or so cars equipped with Dunlop disc brakes
all around, sometimes in the autumn of 1957. These cars were built around the
time that the Austin-Healey production was being transferred from Longbridge to
Abingdon and that apparently the brake conversion was performed by the Healey
factory at Warwick. <BR></P>
<P>He further adds that Tommy Wisdom 1957 Mille Miglia 100-Six (UOC741) had
Dunlop discs fitted all round, so presumably these cars carried a development of
that car's braking system.</P>

<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>
