Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII

This Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII was built in 1965 and first registered in 1966. It left the factory in Ice Blue as a left-hand-drive export car for the American market, and spent its early years in Atlanta, Georgia. It later came back to the UK from California. It is now finished in British racing green with a light tan interior.

The current owner bought it in 2019 and has converted it to right-hand drive. Other changes are an alternator conversion, electronic ignition and an oil cooler. There are also some thoughtful touches: the centre console hides the electric cooling fan controls and a phone stand, a concealed fuel pump switch sits behind the dash grille, and the passenger seat has inflatable lumbar support. The car has wind-up windows and a pram-style hood, and was not used in wet weather under this owner.

It comes with a heritage certificate, invoices and the owner's own service records. The dealer is open about the condition: its inspection found several tired bushes, a flawed paint finish and signs of corroded metalwork, and a full report is available. The price reflects this.
