The Austin-Healey 3000, affectionately known as the "Big Healey," stands as an icon of British motoring, embodying the raw, exhilarating spirit of 1960s sports cars. Launched in 1959, it was the final and most powerful iteration of the Austin-Healey 100/6 lineage, quickly becoming a dominant force in rallying and circuit racing thanks to its robust inline-six engine and agile chassis. The Mark II, introduced in 1961, brought subtle refinements, including a revised grille, a vertical-bar design, and the option of a triple-carburetor engine setup (though many later Mark IIs reverted to twin SUs). Its blend of open-air touring elegance and competition-proven performance solidified its place as a quintessential British roadster. This 1964 Austin-Healey 3000 Mark II Convertible, confirmed by its British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, represents a compelling opportunity for the enthusiast looking to revive a legend. Showing 39,569 miles, this example retains its original overhead valve six-cylinder engine and manual transmission, offering a solid foundation for a comprehensive restoration. The seller, a long-time Austin-Healey aficionado who proposed to his wife in a '59 model, attests to this Mark II being the most rust-free and solid Healey they have encountered in their five-car ownership history, a critical factor for any restoration project. This is a chance to complete the resurrection of a true British motoring icon, ready to be returned to its former glory.
