This particular car is a MK111 Phase 2 built in the very final year of production 1967. The MK111 was the most revised variant in the range with a claimed 150 BHP thanks to a new high lift camshaft and an all new ‘De Luxe’ interior which featured a wooden dash and a fold-down rear luggage shelf. In 1964 the Mk111 received twin indicators and a revised chassis for increased ground clearance and useability.

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.
