About this car

This 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III is a left-hand-drive car converted to right-hand drive, with an adjustable steering column, heater, overdrive and wire wheels fitted as part of the work. It left the factory in British Racing Green with a black leather interior. It is now Healey Gold Metallic with red Autolux hide, red wool carpets and a fully trimmed boot.

It was fully restored in 2013 by a classic coachbuilder. The engine was rebuilt by VSE to fast-road specification, and the gauges were overhauled and calibrated by a marque specialist. The car has also been rolling-road tuned.

Since the restoration it has covered only about 630 miles and has been in a private collection since 2014. The page lists £5,000 of servicing at Rawles Motorsport in 2016 and a £15,000 recommissioning in 2022. It has been used only a couple of times since then.
