In March 1959, Austin-Healey launched the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk I. The 3000 was the successor to the 100-6 BN-2 and had a 2912 cc (2,9-litre) six-cylinder engine.
The 3000 Mk II was also launched in 1961. The biggest change in the Mk II was the increased power, which was coupled with a carburetor. In January 1962, a special version of the Mk II, the Mk IIa, was introduced. This car had two carburetors, four seats, and new windows. In 1962, the Mk II was discontinued and replaced by the Mk III. The Mk III had a new dashboard, a new center console, and a new carburetor. The car again had four seats, the rear of which could be folded down to create a cargo floor. In 1964, the car received a minor facelift, which included a lengthened chassis. The Mk III had, among other things, a better engine and a different windshield.
This Austin Healey has been fully restored. The engine, gearbox, and steering have been overhauled, and the Healey runs smoothly and has ample pulling power. It's a 2A-type, meaning the dashboard is from the older model and therefore nicer than that of the Mk III. The car has manual windows, which makes installing the roof much easier. The car rides on nearly new Vredestein Classic tires. From below, the chassis looks perfect, and it's clear the entire car has been overhauled. A specialist recently visited to properly adjust the carburetors. It's a two-tone car, red over black with a black leather interior. The black wire wheels give the car a somewhat aggressive look, which suits it well. Moreover, the price is competitive for those looking for the perfect Healey.
