The Austin-Healey 3000, affectionately known as the "Big Healey," stands as an icon of classic British motoring, embodying the spirit of the swinging sixties with its potent performance and timeless aesthetics. Launched in 1959 as the successor to the 100-6, the 3000 quickly became a dominant force in rallying and circuit racing, cementing its reputation for rugged reliability and exhilarating speed. The MkIII, introduced in 1963, represented the pinnacle of the model's development, offering increased power, a more refined interior, and the option of luxurious appointments, making it the most civilized yet still fiercely capable of the breed. This particular 1966 Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII, a one-owner example showing 61,839 original miles, has benefited from an extensive restoration by The Toy Shop. A reported $100,000 was invested in bringing this classic back to its former glory, with only 5,408 miles accumulated since its completion. The original engine and manual transmission with overdrive have been rebuilt, as have the front and rear suspension and brakes, ensuring this Healey drives with the vigor it did when new. The original interior has been preserved, complemented by fresh carpeting and new chrome wire wheels wrapped in new tires, while all repair documentation and photographic records are included. This meticulously restored Big Healey offers an opportunity to experience a true automotive legend, ready for its next chapter on the open road.
