The early BN1 that I finished restoring 7 years ago achieved a concours gold at Gettysburg but now that I have a few thousand miles on it I have been very disappointed to notice that the new zinc plated brake lines that I fitted have started to show signs of rust. My guess is that […]
I am currently restoring a very low mileage and virtually rust free 1956 Austin Healey 100 BN2. Having this chance to disassemble such an original car has presented me with a unique opportunity to study construction details which, at least in this part of the world, are usually lost to the ravages of rust.

Some of you may remember my first foray into tire shaving using a table saw. Although this exercise was quite successful it was somewhat dangerous and very time consuming. Ever since shaving the tires on my 100 in this way I have been blessed with a very smooth ride and no signs of scuttle shake […]
