Austin Healey 3000 Mk III 2.9 — 1967

A late Big Healey with an interesting and lovely history. The car has had the same owner since 1980 and retains the majority of its original paint. Technically and aesthetically, this is a really well-kept original design.

"Fully functional car with a beautiful original patina, delivered with a new Inspection/MOT."

Description

The current owner bought the car in Kenya in 1980 during his time as a UN employee. Prior to that, another Swede who was a SIDA employee had owned the Healey for a year. He bought it from an American actor by the name of Jamie Singer. How it came to Kenya is unclear, but a plate that was then mounted under the frame may indicate the Safari Rally. The current owner imported the car to Sweden in the spring of 1982 as moving goods when the UN mission was over. The car with chassis number HBJ 8L 40790 was registered in the summer of 1983 and got a Swedish identity and has since been used and cared for carefully by the same owner. The original registration plate remains under the Swedish aluminium plate. What has been renovated, repaired and maintained over the years is shown below under the owner's comments. This was written in 2016, so the brakes have been fixed after that. The owner writes at the end the following: "After messing with this car for thirty-five years, I think I recognise every single bolt and I am 99.9% sure that there are no other defects than the ones I have described. The knowledge of what has been done over the years, and the knowledge behind all the actions, make this car a little extra interesting.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine was refurbished in the eighties at the British Leyland workshop in Nairobi, Kenya. Of course, many wearing parts have been replaced over the years for many different reasons.

  • Interior condition:

    It has original furnishings and carpets. These are good and in a nice older condition, it looks neat and representative. The old Clarion radio works charmingly together with the original mounted mono speakers.

  • Exterior condition:

    Largely original paint. Some parts were probably repainted sometime in the seventies. The right front wing has a repair with a couple of crackles and the left sill has a slightly different shade behind the driver's door. All this can still be considered as part of the car's overall charm, it does not interfere significantly and belongs to the vehicle's history.

  • General condition:

    Its history and well-kept condition make it more appealing than a completely restored car. Everyone should own a Big Healey at least once in their lives.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
