Austin-Healey 3000 FIA Race Car

A purpose-built Austin-Healey 3000 prepared to FIA specification, constructed from scratch about three years ago around a donor bulkhead and chassis plate. Everything else is new, and the page says it has run for just over 12 hours since the build.

The 3.0-litre six is a full-race unit built by David Smithies, with an Arrow crank and rods, forged high-compression pistons, a race camshaft and an alloy head and sump. It breathes through triple Weber 45 DCOE carburettors and is quoted at 285 bhp. It drives through a straight-cut, close-ratio four-speed gearbox with a competition overdrive and a limited-slip differential.

The car has an aluminium body, four-wheel disc brakes with a balance bar and electronic bias, and a 120-litre FIA fuel cell. Safety kit includes a Lifeline fire system, a Tillett seat valid through 2026 and Schroth harnesses valid through 2028. Magnesium Minilite wheels and wire wheels are included, with VBOX cameras fitted. FIA HTP runs to 31/12/2033, covering events such as Masters Gentlemen Drivers and Equipe Classic Racing.
