About this car

This is a 1960 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk1, one of the early "Big Healeys" built at Abingdon alongside the MG range. Power comes from the 3.0-litre straight-six with twin SU carburettors, paired here with a manual gearbox and overdrive.

It was supplied new to the North American market and was specified from the factory with wire wheels, a laminated windscreen, overdrive and a speedometer reading in miles per hour. The car stayed in the USA for most of its life and came back to the UK in 2005. It has since been restored and converted to right-hand drive. The finish is Blue metallic with cream coves and a blue leather interior.

Equipment includes full weather gear with new side-screens, a mohair tonneau cover and a hood. The car comes with a current V5, a Heritage certificate, an original 3000 brochure, the owner's manual and a file of invoices.
