Description

A genuine Austin Healey 3000 MkIII, originally delivered to the USA in June 1966 — left‑hand drive, matching numbers and correct factory color combo as confirmed by the BMI Heritage Trust record.

Restored in the Netherlands to nut‑and‑bolt standard by the end of 2003, it was then purchased by a Belgian Bosch Car Service Center owner,  who spent the following twenty years crafting it into a incredibly capable and reliable fast-road Healey like you've rarely seen. It was meant to be driven—and driven fast!

It was his pride & joy and that shows in exceptional documentation: binders full of invoices chronologically sorted, accompanied by manuals, technical literature, and its original Healey's driver’s handbook. 

At the heart of the machine lies a jewel: a Denis Welch Motorsport–enhanced engine, built with the revered competition components that transform a Healey into something altogether more serious. The car’s bumperless look—with overriders, Lucas spot lamps and an unforgettable soundtrack —perfectly mirrors its performance character: classic lines with real bite!
