The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built from 1959 until 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 changed from an open sports car, albeit with a child-transporting 2+2 option, to a sports convertible. In 1963, over 90 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 Motor Corporation ended manufacture in 1967, filling its place with a car with a new, though similar, engine in a newer monocoque chassis; the MGB variant named the MGC.
This Healey was restored from the ground up a few years ago and was part of a private collection for many years. The car is in an exceptionally good condition. It has a new soft top, tonneau cover and has a rare factory hard top and side screens. The interior is largely original. The gearbox was recently rebuilt and the car has been regularly serviced and well used. A great daily driving classic English sports car.
Price is R795,000
