The big Healey's started production in 1953 with the 100/4. The engine in these vehicle were a four cylinder 2.6 liter. A new grill and a 2.6 liter straight six engine was introduced in 1957. In 1959 the 2.6 liter engine was replaced with the 3.0 liter straight six. When the Healey 3000 came out, it came with disc brakes in the front instead of the traditional drums. These 3.0 engines produced 124 horsepower. There was two different styles that could be bought, either the two seater or the four seater.
