Three Lifetime Owners w/ Sensational Curb Appeal
The current owner of this 1966 Austin Healey 3000 Mark III Roadster restored it earlier this year and informs us that he has paper work on the restoration. This “Big Healey” is outstanding in person with a gorgeous body, impressive trim work and show quality paint. There are a few minor blemishes to be found but nothing to detract from this classic roadster’s overall beauty. The interior is almost more spectacular with beautiful wood-grain inserts and flawless seating, carpeting and door panels. The hand-controlled leather top is also in very good shape and likely a recent install.
Additionally, this 1966 Austin Healey 3000 Mark III Convertible performs admirably on the open road with smooth acceleration and very impressive handling. The engine compartment appears factory correct but we do not have any documentation to support that it could be the original drivetrain, so that will be for the next owner to independently research. What we can tell you is that it’s very clean and only requires minimal refreshing to be brought up to show quality standards.

About Austin-Healey
Austin-Healey was a British sports car make created as a joint-venture between the Austin division of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and the Donald Healey Motor Company. First Healey model, Healey 100, was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and developed by Donald Healey to be build in-house. They finished a single Healey Hundred for the 1952 London Motor Show. Leonard Lord, managing director of Austin was so impressed by the design that a deal was duly struck with Healey and the car was renamed the Austin-Healey 100 overnight. Austin Healey was born. 100 derived into 100-six, and different 3000 versions before they quit the production in 1968 as the basic design had finally become obsolete.
