Our original right-hand drive. UK supplied Austin Healey 3000 Mk2 has had just five owners from new. It was first registered to a Mr Moudry of Biggleswade. Bedfordshire who kept the car until 1974 before passing it to a Mr Brodie who had it until 1983. A Mr Reid then owned the Healey for five years. then a Mr Brunton before going to its last owner in 2006. As such the car has a vast history file with records going back until 1970.

This Healey is finished in a particularly attractive colour combination of black over ivory with a red interior. The hood is black and it comes with a desirable original hardtop. It's also fitted with wire wheels. overdrive and a beautiful wood-rim steering wheel.

Going through the records it is apparent that a tremendous amount of money has been spent ensuring this Healey has always remained in excellent condition. The engine has been rebuilt in 1970. 1991 and most recently in 2010 in conjunction with a complete gearbox rebuild. When the engine was recently built they uprated its power output with a DWR1 camshaft and triple SU carbs along with converting the cylinder head to run on unleaded fuel. It has all the usual upgrades including a stainless exhaust. alternator and electric cooling fan. The result is a fabulously sweet engine that pulls very well and exhibits perfect oil pressure and coolant temperature. together with a slick gearbox and perfectly working overdrive.

The body was treated to a professional rebuild by a Healey specialist in the late nineties. We have a photographic record of this work along with all the bills.

Today the bodywork remains in superb order with excellent paintwork and chrome. The wheels are recent and all the weather gear is all good.

On the road this Healey is a delight. It's tight. rattle-free and offers strong performance with a suitably rorty exhaust note. The brakes and suspension are in excellent order. and all dashboard gauges work as they should and display the correct readings.

Overall. this is a great looking original right-hand drive Healey with a fantastic history that drives extremely well. Ready to enjoy this summer.
