The Austin-Healey 3000, the quintessential British roadster, represents the pinnacle of the "Big Healey" lineage. Introduced in 1959, the 3000 evolved through several iterations, each refining its blend of sporting performance and classic elegance. The MkIII, launched in 1963, was the ultimate expression, often considered the most desirable for its roll-up windows, burl wood dashboard, and most powerful 148 hp engine from the factory. While not a purebred racer like some of its contemporaries, the 3000 nonetheless carved out a formidable reputation in rallying and endurance events, cementing its place in motorsport history and capturing the hearts of enthusiasts worldwide. This particular 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII is a striking example, currently undergoing final completion by the renowned Kurt Tanner Motorcars. It presents in its factory-original and exceptionally rare Metallic Golden Beige, a color seen on only 553 cars, complemented by a vibrant Red leather interior. This MkIII was recently unearthed in California from its second owner, having been off the road since the mid-1980s, making its current restoration a true revival. The meticulous process has included a complete cosmetic overhaul, with the car stripped to its bare rolling bodyshell, aggressively cleaned, and the chassis lightly sandblasted, ensuring a solid foundation for its renewed life. With its 85,617 miles and robust inline-six engine paired with a 4-speed overdrive transmission, this Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII offers a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant and beautifully restored British icon.
