   The visual signature of this Healey 100 6, in our series here, is the windshield frame. Here it is very much part of the body as it sweeps up from fender crest. It also clearly defines the line between upholstered dash and hood. 
   The choice of that very 1950s turquoise paint was chosen by the owner to match the cream upholstery of the interior, which during restoration was done first.
   The Healey 100 6, with its 2.6 liter inline six, was very much a move up-market for BMC's sports car.
Its price of 1300 BPS compared very nicely with the 1600 BPS price of the XK140 just beyond it here.
