Gerry Coker?s original Austin-Healey 100 design debuted in 1952. It was an instant success filling a niche between the MG?s and OTS Jaguars of the day. The basic roadster was powered by a 2.5 litre inline 4 cyl and could speed along in excess of 100 mph, hence the designation; Healey One Hundred. By 1967 the Austin-Healey had evolved in to the 3000 Mk III. The larger 3 litre inline 6cyl yielded a modest 150 horsepower. The cockpit was extensively revised with roll up windows, beautiful wood trimmed dash, center console and rear jump seats making the 3000 MkIII the most luxurious of all big Healey?s.
1967 was the last year of production for the BJ8 series Healey, and this one happens to also be near the end of production cycle. This stunning MK III is finished in Old English White over black upholstery is in pristine condition. Every attention to detail has been addressed to perfection, the finish, the gaps, the chrome and the solid Walnut Burl wood dash are in top Concours quality. The car come with all manuals, books, tools, spare and tie downs. Everything is there and everything works! No other roadster personifies the idea of a true British Sports car like an Austin Healey MK III. With its long, sleek fenders and low swooping body lines, it beautifully blends classic era 30?s with modern century 50?s era cars. This distinctive example before you may very well be the finest no-expense spared Austin Healey 3000 available.
