Austin Healey MK3 Phase 11

Finished in Primrose Yellow over Cream

MK3 Phase 2

The very last of the Healey's the MK3 Phase 2 came with wind up windows (not pop ons like early models). a higher suspension ride height. for much improved comfort. fitted with overdrive on 3rd & 4th gear. this is as close to modern motoring as it gets with a Classic Car.

The model ceased production at the end of 1967 therefore this car is one of the very last.

History

The car was originally purchased as a restoration project at what we believe to be around 1992. for £7. 00. Work commenced over the proceeding years with much money spent on the vehicle & was finished of by a mark specialist in 1999 / 2000 at an additional cost then of £23. 00 which was a staggering amount of money then on top of all the other works. We can only estimate that the cars total cost was approximately £40. 00 back in 1999. So today some 14 years later it represents great value. the way classic car prices have leaped forward.

Mileage

Restored to a stunning condition. the cars speedo was then set to zero in 2000. MOT's over the preceding years show that this cars current 1634 miles are the total this car has travelled since. approximately 100 miles a year! However. I have took a shine to this car. & will probably add another mile or two myself.

Recent works & refreshment

The car changed hands around 2 years ago. & the current owner then set about enhancing & servicing the engine. suspension. electrics. renewing any old bushes. making sure heater & electrics worked. choke. carb set up etc etc etc. the list goes on & on at Grimaldi Engineering. A total cost of over £8. 00 in parts & labour has been recently spent.

Adding to this we have taken this car into our workshop for detailing work. to include paintwork to one small imperfection (we are fussy). detailing to engine bay & underside on our ramp. We have also added a custom made hood envelope (cover for hood when down).

Body & Paint

The paintwork is in exceptional condition. with a flawless exterior. The engine bay is breathtaking as the pictures show. with all inner wings painted like glass. the underside of the bonnet is the same. The engine is in pristine condition with no oil anywhere.

The chassis has never seen any welding at all. there is not one patch to the floors. chassis rails etc. The photos show a clear representation of this. All inner wheel arches are the same. with painted surfaces & not a weld in sight.

The Drive

The car as you can imagine drives superb (I can personally vouch for that) & will be presented in tip top condition. All items such as overdrive. heater etc work (after £8. 00 at Grimaldi you can only expect that). The car starts without the aid of the choke! It is that good a rebuild.

One of the last production BIG HEALEYS. Just a joy.

Any PX considered. viewings welcomed anytime.
