For Sale 1959 Austin Healey

Exceptional Fully Restored Example in Excellent Running and Driving Condiition

The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built from 1959 to 1967. It is the best known of the "big Healey" models. The car's bodywork was made by Jensen Motors and the vehicles were assembled at BMC's MG Works in Abingdon, alongside the corporation's MG models. During its production life, the car transitioned from an open sports car, albeit with a child-transporting 2+2 option, to a sports convertible. In 1963, 91.5 per cent of all Austin-Healey 3000 cars were exported; mostly to North America.

The 3-litre 3000 was a highly successful car, which won its class in many European rallies in its heyday and is still raced in classic car competitions by enthusiasts today. British Leyland ended manufacture in 1967, intending its place to be filled by a car with a new, though similar, engine in a more recently designed monocoque MGB variant named MGC

The 3000 sports convertible Mark III was announced in February 1964 its power increased from 136 bhp to 150 bhp by a new higher lift camshaft. SU HD8 carburettors replaced HS6 units increasing the choke size from 1.75 to 2 inches, or total area 6.3 sq. inches, increasing by 30.6%.

Power-assisted braking became standard instead of optional. The new car's fascia displayed its speedometer and tachometer directly in front of the driver. Upholstery was now in Ambla vinyl. The Mark III BJ8 remained in production until the end of 1967 when manufacture of Austin-Healeys ceased.

This Exceptional Example was fully restored by the leading Austin Healey Restoration Shop in the Country and has covered only 225 miles since Restoration. This Shop does only one car per year. The car presents as a freshly restored car in every respect, it is literally flawless, and is ready for the most demanding concours. Finished in a striking and desirable color combination, this car turns heads everywhere it goes.

An excellent running and driving car with no issues whatsoever, it also would be a fool proof tourer for the numerous events for which it is eligible. If you are looking for the Finest 3000 you can find you will be hard pressed to beat this spectacular example.
