BN4 and BN6 Limited Edition Prints

David Townsend · Apr 5, 2015

After a brief foray into my Triumph catalog to complete the TR6 illustration, I'm back to the Healeys—this time with the BN4 and BN6. And yes, the 3000s are coming next.

The BN4 and BN6 standard illustration will include disc wheels (including hub caps), overdrive gearbox, and adjustable steering column. ou can customize your print with any of the available options including:

Available factory body/interior color combinations (special colors are available upon request)
48-spoke wire wheels
60-spoke wire wheels
Octagonal wheel nuts
Dunlop racing wheels with competition knock-offs
Delete overdrive gearbox
Delete adjustable steering column
Headlamp grilles
Lucas 576 spot lamps
Wood rimmed steering wheel
Weber carburetters
Manufacturer’s plate with the serial numbers of your specific car
Lucas style wing-mounted mirror
Raydyot mirror (mounted to driver’s door)
Other options as may be required to personalize your print

These highly detailed illustrations based on Gerry Coker’s original line drawing, are beautifully rendered and printed on museum quality, acid-free, giclee paper. The ultimate gift for the Healey lover. Prints come in 12" x 24" and 18" x 36" sizes. Approximate delivery time is 2-3 weeks.

You can order at Sports Car Art.

David. The 100-Sixes had two different types of interior depending on the model. Are you planning on doing both? The early cars also had an integral head and smaller carbs and a single windscreen washer, plus a few other minor differences which may or may not be visible on your drawings. I look forward to seeing the first versions.

The order form includes the capability to upload pictures so I can adjust each illustration to accommodate specific differences.

I just went to the site to order a print. I didn't see an area to go for a pre-view.
Is this possible to see what we are buying?
Thanks in advance

Absolutely. I'll post up some JPEGs once I get the illustration back from my technical editor. You can get a good idea of the illustration style by looking at the BN1 and BN2 drawings.

Tech396 · Apr 7, 2015

Thank you for the reply.
There were three types of BN4s from 56-59, I'm curious to know which one you chose to base the drawing on, early (2 Port) Middle (6 Port) Both with Longbridge interior.
Or the late (6 Port, with the newer style interior and soft top frame. "Abingdon trim"

David Townsend · Apr 7, 2015

The base art is a bit of a mash up of various BN4s (same for the BN6). I then adjust the illustration to the specifics of each customer's car, hence the reason I ask for photogrpahs when submitting an order. When cars aren't available for my personal inspection, my "go to" resource for details is Clausager's "Original Austin Healey",

David Townsend · Apr 13, 2015

Here a few samples of the BN4 and the BN6 illustrations.

The BN4 is based on one of the early "Longbridge" cars with the carbs on the horizontal, and a few other details peculiar to the early cars. As for the Primrose over black colors well, they're not really my cup of tea but I wanted to try something other than Healey blue (not that there's anything wrong with it)/ Same for the steel wheels. If you're an afficianado of the first 100-6s let me know what things that might need changing. There's only so much accuracy I can achieve using examples from books and the Internet.

I chose to accessorize the BN6 with a wood rimmed steering wheel, Lucas "Flamethrower" spot lamp and Raydyot side mirror but you get your print with the accessories of your choice.

I think the primrose over black is a great combo especially when you add a black hardtop to it. It is also the only colour combination that came with a yellow interior. Very rare. The primrose coloured cars (without black coves) had black interiors.

The Longbridge BN4s had a single windscreen washer while the later cars had two, same as the 3000s.

DerekJ · Apr 14, 2015

A couple more minor details.

The windscreen washer bottle on the Longbridge cars was made of glass. The piping on the seats of the later 100-Sixes did not go right round the 'ears' of the sides of the front seat where it hinges. The piping on the Longbridge car above is however correct as it was similar to the 100s. I think that some of the other differences between the models will be very difficult to see on the illustrations, such as the interior panelling behind the front seats and also the arm rests. The Longbridge car has a saddle style armrest similar to the 100s but slightly shorter while the later cars have a rectangular pad on top of the tunnel.

Derek,

Great help with the details. I've made note of them. This is where having folks submit pictures of their car with an order really comes in handy in helping to get things just right. Again, thanks for you assistance.

I've attached the pic that I used to draw the glass bottle. Images of the engine bay, rear (interior) quarter, and the aforementioned washer bottle would be very helpful in making the details accurate. You can upload images directly to the order form and there is also a Special Instructions box where you can fill in anything you think I would need to know.

washer bottle and rear panels. Can't help with the engine bay pics as I have the 2 port engine not 6 port.

healeyblue · Apr 14, 2015

Note the door seals are different on the longbridge cars as well. No furflex on the perimeter, just at the front edge of the door opening.

Thanks for the pics! Very helpful.

Tech396 · Apr 14, 2015

This photo from Dereks site shows the original brackets nicely. I will upload the necessary files on your website when I place my order, but thought this may be of help for you in the meantime

Here's BN6 that's been customized a bit (customer's request) with a hardtop, Enod's petrol cap, glass washer bottle, Girling front disc brakes, and commission plate. The 100 6 badge in the background has been moved to the right side so it didn't interfere with the hardtop.
