You need driving gloves for that! It's too british for bare hands
and a long wooden pipe to smoke
If it’s British you need plastic gloves so you don’t get them covered in dirt when it inevitably breaks down…..
More 50s cars!!! God I would love to see a pre war on here aswell!!
@@onesandzeroes wdym maybe not??? Pre wars and 50s cars are awesome
This thing is so cool, from the drilled steering wheel with turn signal stalk to the g70 esque grill lol to the reverse dog leg transmission, this is one of the coolest car I never knew about haha
Looks Beautiful, sound delightful and seems like a lot of fun to drive.
definetly an automotive gem 😌
You're not supposed to take your foot off the gas when hitting the overdrive. The engine and tranny came from a truck , which is why the gear pattern is weird . First was blocked off so that what you really have is 2d, 3d and 4th . 1st would have been too low , as the engine is so torquey, being a truck . That's a really pretty example. I never noticed that, in this earliest of models, the gearshift comes out of the floor, instead of the hump. About the "big Healey" name, it's not taken from the Sprite. It came first, the Sprite didnt come out 'till '58. It was later that this one became a "big Healey".
When Britain built decent cars
Before the rest of the world overtook us?
Couldn't agree more, 50s British Roadsters are the epitome of motoring!
Awesome! I share your excitement for this one as well. The big Healey's are just fantastic, and the 100 is something very special, because they're so basic. What a treasure. Thanks for driving it "for real" because the torque of that big flywheel and crankshaft, is legit, and really makes the car outstanding.
my favorite car I have ever driven was an Austin Healey 100-M. it was so loud and buzzy and the car felt so unbelievably raw. I’ve driven some pretty special cars in my day and nothing made me smile ear-to-ear as much as that car did. the attention it drew was also insane
Day 44 of asking Tedward to drive the S60R
...why?
Is it manual?
I've never heard a bad carburated four cylinder, this is such a cool and interesting car
So this is 100/4 with the 4cylinder and 100/6 was the 6cylinder
This car provokes a strange resonance in my memory. I'm from Waltham, and curiously enough, I worked at High Performance Cars on Linden St. (directly across the street from where the Bond Group is) in Waltham, in an after school job while I was in High School in the mid 60s.
Among various cars parked out front, (which BTW, included various Loti and a Marcos 1800GT (Which was the R&T road test car) was an Austin Healy 100 which I remember was cream colored. It needed work but it was in my (very low) price range, but, alas, it never happened. There is a possibility that this car might be the same one.
With the screen up it kinda reminds me of what it's like to drive my NA Miata.
The Citroën HY has/had the same gear positions 😉 though reverse was opposite first.
Some 4 cylinder engines really do have some character, I love the way it sounds
I love British roadsters so much, this thing looks so much fun
Beautiful, Beautiful car !!!
You are Lucky guy !
that is not slow, looks fun
It may look slow in the video. It feels so much faster when you are in one with how small it is and how low to the ground you are!
Lovely little gem of a car. I really prefer this era of cars even though I was not even alive when they were produced. ❤
same!
Quite the beauty there! We have a closely related sibling that is 10 years newer, a Triumph Spitfire Mk II. About the same color, sounds almost identical to the Healey 100, 4 speed manual (no overdrive in ours though), and an absolute joy to drive! The positive ground electrical system is different to work on, but at least it's simple. Love the old British roadsters!
my god!! what a symphony to hear 🥰😊🎼.. lately i find myself leaning more To very old classic engines. they have a nice enjoyable sound. it's pleasing to hear.
thank you Ted for you always enjoyable videos ❤
I’m much more into this type of car for a fun weekender, sunny day car. Cars nowadays are not really about grace, elegance, or free spirit. This Austin-Healey just has so much charm to it even though it isn’t the fastest, most comfortable, most luxurious, etc. but man does it look fun.
What a beautiful example 🥰 . I’ve always preferred the 100/4 to the 3000. The lines are perfect and it’s so honest. Pretty certain they were actually quicker too.
Really cool vehicle, I like the silver metal dashboard. There's just something about red paint with silver/chrome details that works on any car, whether it be a 80 y/o or a brand new one.
This velvety, farty rumble when it digs down for power at 2-3k rpm is DELIGHTFUL.
it's not just Vintage tires that are getting hard to find. apparently, manufacturers have stopped making anything but the 20 inch rubber bands modern vehicles use.
Can you leave the OD engaged shifting from 2 to 3, and 3 to 2? Then it is like a 5 speed. The stance at the rear is noticeably lower. Is that normal or a trick of the camera angle?
Regarding the Gear pattern, you must see the Citroen Traction Avant. Also reverse pattern, but lever in the dashboard.
The odd angle of the instrument nacelle makes it look like it’s falling off.
That would drive me crazy!
Lovely Healey, woodrim wheel, tonneau cover and roads it was designed for. Super video!
Always a pleasure when Ted drops a video. Especially with a beautiful classic
Man it sounds great! Haven’t heard a Healey yet that didn’t sound wonderful ❤
what does overdrive do is this car?
It essentialy provides an additional "gear", and is electrically operated. It was an available option and would replace the normal tailshaft housing of the transmission with the overdrive unit. On something like my Spitfire, it drops the RPM down about 500-600 RPM. There's an inhibitor circuit that is supposed to prevent overdrive operation in reverse, 1st, and 2nd gear on the 4 speed transmissions (1st and reverse on the 3 speeds like this Healey).
I just re-posted this on Threads.
You need to get your ass over there and post your content.
This car is as quirky as Mr. Bean and its awesome.
Intoxicating mechanical music 💓
I would love to see you test an old Elan.
Such a great vehicle 😊
Waiting for cat leg at this point xD
What a sweet machine; as raw as it gets!
One would have to think that the steering wheel when ahead is upside down. ?? To me that would really bother me if I were driving that car.
Wut
Ahm, what does wut mean in English ??
The Austin Healey 100 came before the Sprite. The big healelys came first, then the little ones.😊
right but they didn't refer to them as Big until after the sprites right?
@@TedwardDrives Probably!
Cool!
First
Can I have a car please 😊
no, but you can have free robux
100-4 you mean
I think it's more appropriate to call a 6cyl a 100-6 vs calling out the engine in the 4 cylinder. Every auction listing on BAT calls them out just as AH 100 and the 6cyls as AH 100-6
@@TedwardDrives I see, makes sense. I think you’d love the 100-6 with the extra horsepower bump but you’ve driven a 3000, so close enough. It’s nice that you are showcasing these classics. Most have never heard of them!
