• Introduced in 1959, the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk I was a development of the preceding 100/6 rather than a genuinely new model
• Improvements to the 3000 included a slightly enlarged (to 2,912cc) version of the C-Series six-cylinder engine, Girling disc brakes up front and wire wheels as standard
• Breathing through twin SU carburettors, the revised power unit produced 124bhp at 4,600rpm offering 0-60mph in a little over 11 seconds
• First registered in 1960, this UK-supplied, right-hand drive BT7 four-seater has remained in the care of its current owner since 2004
• Finished in the classic Austin-Healey colour combination of Ice Blue over Old English White, complemented by a retrimmed navy blue leather interior, matching carpets throughout along with a new navy hood
• Featuring fibreglass rear quarter panels and flared front wings, the car has been predominantly maintained by its current owner, with recent invoices for replacement parts including a thermostat and steering components
• Accompanied by a substantial history folder containing MOT Certificates dating back to the 1980s, some invoices, its original buff logbook, workshop manual, parts catalogue and other period literature
• An example of one of Britain's most celebrated sporting roadsters, combining the unmistakable presence of the 'Big Healey' with a number of distinctive bodywork modifications
