The Austin-Healey 3000 stands as a quintessential British roadster, born from the collaboration between Austin and Donald Healey. Introduced in 1959, the "Big Healey" quickly became an icon of the era, celebrated for its robust straight-six engine, thrilling performance, and elegant lines. The Mk III, launched in 1963, represented the pinnacle of the 3000 lineage, offering a more refined experience with its burl walnut dash, wind-up windows, and increased power output, making it the most luxurious and capable iteration. These cars dominated rally stages and road races in period, cementing their reputation as true driver's machines before production ceased in 1967, marking the end of an era for Austin-Healey. This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III, showing a believed-original 52,718 miles, is a testament to meticulous care and a comprehensive restoration. The third owner states that a frame-off restoration was completed approximately two decades ago, with virtually everything replaced, and the car has since spent fifteen years in storage. Finished in a custom Emron paint, this convertible boasts a beautifully maintained interior with like-new carpet, custom insulation for enhanced comfort, and functional overdrive. Rolling on classic knock-off wire wheels, this example has seen minimal use since its acquisition by the current owner, covering fewer than 250 miles, primarily for local car shows, and recently benefited from a complete tune-up and oil change. This is a superb opportunity to acquire a finely restored example of Austin-Healey's most developed and desirable model.
