Body-off restored Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III for sale.
Few British sports cars capture the imagination quite like the “Big Healey.” What began in 1952 as a collaboration between Donald Healey and BMC evolved into one of the most iconic roadsters of the 1950s and 1960s, achieving significant success in rallying. The 3000 Mk III represented the pinnacle of the series, offering more power, greater comfort, and a full dashboard featuring walnut trim, all while retaining the car’s raw, authentic character.
At the heart of this 1965 Austin-Healey lies a 2.9-liter inline-six engine equipped with dual SU carburetors. The engine has been overhauled and has matching numbers. It is paired with a four-speed manual transmission featuring overdrive, making it ideal for relaxed highway driving.
The car underwent a body-off restoration in 2017, and a photographic record of the process is available, allowing you to see exactly what work was carried out.
Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III in Healey Blue for sale.
The two-tone paint scheme, combining Healey Blue with Ivory White, is a classic pairing that beautifully accentuates the sweeping lines of the Big Healey. The light-colored side panels highlight the long hood and muscular rear fenders. Painted wire wheels, the oval chrome grille, characteristic bumper overriders, the chrome air intake on the bonnet, and the dual exhaust complete the look.
The dark blue soft top integrates seamlessly with the interior. Inside, you will find dark blue upholstery with contrasting white piping, dark blue carpeting, and a burr walnut dashboard featuring a central cluster of round gauges. The cool blue tones, both inside and out, are warmed by the rich wood and enlivened by the white accents of the piping and the car’s flanks, giving this Mk III an understated yet distinctly elegant appearance.
