In March 1959, Austin-Healey launched the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk I. The 3000 was the successor to the 100-6 BN-2 and had a 2912 cc (2.9-liter) six-cylinder engine.
In 1961, the 3000 Mk II was also launched. The biggest change in the MK II was the increased power, which came with a carburetor. In January 1962, a special version of the MK II, the Mk IIa, was introduced. This car had two carburetors, four seats, and new windows. In 1962, the Mk II went out of production and was replaced by the Mk III. The Mk III had a new dashboard, a new center console, and a new carburetor. The car also had four seats again, the rear of which could be folded down to create a cargo floor. In 1964, the car received a minor facelift, which included a lengthened chassis. The Mk III featured, among other things, a better engine and a different windshield.

This Austin Healey presented here is a fully restored one. The engine, gearbox, and steering have also been overhauled, and the Healey runs smoothly and has sufficient pulling power. It's a 2A type, meaning the dashboard is still from the older model and therefore nicer than that of the MK III. The car does have crank windows, which makes it much easier to put the roof on. The car is running on nearly new Vredestein Classic tires. From underneath, the chassis looks perfect, and it's clear that the entire car has been overhauled. A specialist recently visited to properly adjust the carburetors. It's a two-tone car, red over black with a black leather interior. The black wire wheels give the car a somewhat aggressive look, which suits it well. Furthermore, the price is competitive for those looking for the perfect Healey.
