This stunning 1960 Austin Healey 3000 is finished in Colorado Red with red trim interior and a factory overdrive option. It is a right hand drive example in immaculate original specification. built & supplied in the Surrey factory England and came from a private collection. It comes with a British Heritage certificate confirming it's authenticity and has covered 35. 00 miles in total.

It also comes with a 2. 12cc 6 cylinder engine. twin SU carburettors. Girling front disc brakes. 5 wire wheels including the spare and a sandy colour tonneau cover.

The roof is black canvas as original spec and in great condition.

The car runs beautifully as you would expect.

Small defects in the paint on the tops of the front wings by the chrome trim and the odd nick and knock but nothing which detracts from the overall look.  

It is a car you would not be afraid to use on the road. The photos were taken 2 weeks ago.

Very solid underneath.

If you are looking for a beautiful. solid and extremely presentable RHD Healey 3000 as an investment which you can enjoy. improve with light effort and sell for a profit then this is the car for you. The history seems to hover around the 90s and is very comprehensive including a restoration with many new parts. interior. carpet and paint. this history includes all the MOTS through the 90s. various sales receipts. until it was imported to Ireland in 98.

I do know the car resided in Jersey for the first few years of its life from new.

The Irish owner then had the car for 17 years.

I also hold all the tax discs whilst in Ireland to show the car was roadworthy and in regular use.

I have no record of the history "accept" the heritage certificate pre 89 or post 2000.

I do however have the Irish tax and insurance discs from 98 to present the present day.

Because of this I cant be absolutely sure of the low mileage but there is evidence of the mileage on receipts and MOTS stating mileage of 19. 00 miles in 1991. then progressing to 25. 28 by 1998.

It is absolutely plausible to me that this car had only done 19. 00 miles from 1961 to 1991 considering the general drive and feel of the car and some digging around would most likely confirm this.

The car is now showing 35k miles which is conducive to the 10. 00 miles travelled whilst in Ireland as the Irish owner only used the car in good weather and infrequently.


Included is the side windows in good condition and the hood and frame in good condition.

The jack and spinner mallet is also present. which is very important as the spinners are new.

THANK YOU!
