KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS proudly presents for sale. here on Ebay. a freshly and exquisitely restored Austin-Healey 6-cylinder roadster to the highest standards. This car was purchased by Kurt Tanner here on Ebay about 18 months ago from the second owner. in need of restoration. The car has a believed original mileage of only 50. 559. This car was first owned by the seller's next door neighbor who purchased the car new. These are two-owner documented miles. The car was driven from new in 1961 to about 1967. when it was stored in a two-car garage needing some carburetor work. It was later acquired by the seller and his father and became their project car for restoration that was never completed.  
This exceptional 3000 has just completed a very extensive and exhaustive restoration by marque specialist "Kurt Tanner Restorations". It is correctly finished in it's Olde English White with Red Trim color scheme. In fact. the entire car has been restored EXACTLY per BMIHT certificate including all the options listed above in the title. All detailing and finishes are in accordance with Austin-Healey Club Gold Concours standards. and the finest materials have been used.  
This car was completely disassembled/ stripped down to a bare rolling chassis with only the front and rear shrouds still attached. The chassis was then power-washed with a 3500psi steam cleaner. All exterior body panels were carefully hand-stripped to bare metal using aircraft stripper. then "dusted" with shotblasting to remove any corrosion.  At that point. any sheetmetal repairs were made. The chassis was then seam-sealed. primed. and painted along with the backs of all the body panels. The body parts were then refitted to the car and carefully gapped. Bodywork and paint was then carried out to show standards. with exceptional results. The car displays factory-correct panel fit and shut lines.  
Most all of the original chromework was replated and saved using very little reproduction parts. The original aluminum cockpit moldings were stripped. polished. and correctly re-anodized. A fresh rubber kit was installed. The car boasts a new Moss Motors interior trim kit. carpet and underlay kit. Armacord trunk kit. door seals. leather trimmed seats with new foam. steering wheel. lap belts. and windshield. A new and correct black Everflex top and matching tonneau has been fitted. along with the original set of restored sidecurtains in a new bag.  
Mechanically. the car could not be in better condition. The original. low-mileage engine was started up and ran for an hour before being removed from the car.  The engine and transmission exhibit perfect behavior for such a low-mileage car . It was inspected along with the gearbox. re-sealed. cleaned. painted and detailed. A new clutch disc was fitted just as a precaution. The carburetor set was rebuilt. A new gas tank. engine and transmission mounts. fan belt. battery. ignition set. oil and filter. cooling hoses. and S. U. pump were installed. The front and rear suspension was inspected for wear. cleaned. detailed. and regreased. The braking system and clutch hydraulics were completely rebuilt including new master cylinders and slave cylinder. new rear cylinders. rebuilt front calipers with new pistons. new steel brake lines installed with new flexy hoses. new front pads and rear shoes. The original 5 steel wheels (low maintenance compared to wire wheels) were powder-coated and fitted with expensive Michelin 165x15 XAS Radial tires and tubes. along with a set of new hubcaps.  
Other restoration details include a new cotton cloth wiring harness. restored dashboard fittings. new air vent heater hoses. new mild steel exhaust system and hangers with an NOS muffler. cadmium-replated original hardware. and all appropriate stickers and decals. This car includes a matching 5th tire and spare rim. top and tonneau cover. sidescreen set with bag. reprint of the owner's handbook. original restored tire changing equipment with bag. and a BMIHT certificate attesting to the car's authenticity.
