Description
The Austin-Healey was imported from the USA by its current owner in 1997.

The interior was reupholstered, while the soft top and tonneau cover were not replaced. The odometer was reset ten years ago. A full set of keys is included. Over the past two years, the owner has not had the opportunity to drive the car.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The engine starts and runs well, and the gearbox operates properly. The clutch engages high. During the test drive, the cabin fan was not tested.
-
Interior condition
The interior is in good condition. The driver’s seat is equipped with a race-type seat belt, while the passenger side has no seat belt. The soft top appears intact but has not been tested. A spare wheel is included, but no jack.
-
Exterior condition
The paintwork that was done just over 25 years ago is still in good condition. The chrome details and the wire wheels are also in good condition. On the right rear fender, there is a scratch that has caused a soft dent in the panel, and in front of it there is some paint chipping. The trim around the cockpit has scratches, which can be seen in the close-up photos.
-
General condition
An attractive Austin-Healey 3000 Mk I that remains in good condition following its 1990s restoration. It is fully drivable, but as it has not been used during the past two years, a service and inspection would be advisable to ensure continued reliability.

Facts about the model
When the London Motor Show opened in 1952, Donald Healey’s new sports car was unveiled under the name Healey Hundred. The original plan was for the car to be produced at the Donald Healey Motor Company’s own factory. However, at the show, Austin’s managing director Leonard Lord took an interest in the car, and an agreement was reached to build it at the Longbridge plant — in far greater numbers than Healey could have managed alone. The car was renamed the Austin-Healey Hundred.
In the autumn of 1956, the four-cylinder model became the Austin-Healey 100–6 when it received a six-cylinder engine and a slightly longer wheelbase. In 1957, production was moved from Longbridge to MG’s factory in Abingdon-on-Thames. The next development came in 1959 with the introduction of the Austin-Healey 3000, featuring a larger six-cylinder engine.
These three models are collectively known as the “Big Healeys,” and production of the last Austin-Healey 3000 was completed in December 1967. Austin-Healey enjoyed considerable success in motorsport, competing in road races such as the Mille Miglia and in rallies including Spa–Sofia–Liège, Tulip, and RAC.
