    Mike, it is not a "single overhead cam" engine. It is an OHV design

      Indeed!...Not a sophisticated engine, but a powerful brute!

      That’s how they were from the factory. I have one and it was difficult to leave them that way when I refinished mine.

    Had a navy blue 100-6 (1958) with a hardtop!.the perfect car for a college sophomore..the upholstery was blue too with white piping- it's why I've a hard time understanding the red interior of this otherwise beautiful 3000.

    A BRG Healey is supposed to have black vinyl with silver piping. The red interior is sacrilege.

    The engine isn’t single overhead cam, it’s overhead valve, pushrod.

    Symptoms... So iv got a potential hundred grand car my dad gave me with perfect paint and chrome, its covered in be-ro under a dust sheet in my commercial garage. Im tooooo busy on the land-line to 1983 where my shrink is, he's wondering why I cant be bothered washing it to get more dough from the billy bunter looking punter coming to see it, or spending ten grand to tart it up for auction.
    Diagnosis.. This is a pandemic of preposterousness raging through car shows..
    Treatment.. Perhaps a surfeit of hydroxychloroquine?

    What a silly sod Brewer is !
    The Healey together with the alterations cost $45000
    It realised $65000 in the Las Vegas auction
    Factoring in 45 hours of labour which doesn’t get a mention ,I don’t believe together with the sale commission he had to pay
    Brewer made a thumping loss. No mention of new tyres either which should have been imperative on such an old car
    This is now the worst and most ridiculous motoring program on tv

      @curbozerboomer1773 11 місяців тому

      Yup..I loved his enhancing of the exhaust system...but Those SUs are good carburetors, and do not need to be retired. Webers are overrated, IMO. And Healeys were never meant to be dragstrip kings anyway...This car probably gained around 10hp with those custom headers, giving it 160hp...that is plenty for this classic car!

    a lot wasted money. Webers? nope. zero benefits. unless other engine mods are done. However, then it's not stock. I never would have replaced the S.U.'s nothing wrong if you rebuild and know how to tune. It is time-consuming. adjust, test, adjust test. but it stays stock and ultimately is more sellable. A bit like you guys really didn't understand Healeys at all. Red/Green????huh???? Fail.

    BRING BACK EDD!!!!! You guys still use Edd in the profile picture and the new shows are garbage.... its just like Two and a Half Men without charlie sheen... maybe it will run for 2 more years but soon you guys will see that nobody watches this new crap and you will lose all your old fans.

    • @richie4561
      @richie4561 5 років тому +2

      the new shows are not garbage, they are just not to your liking. i love Ed but the show has moved on, Ed left, maybe of his own accord but he left. top gear is not the same as it was with clarkson may and hammond but is is still top gear
