Austin-Healey 3000 - beautiful and very well maintained

 


The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built between 1959 and 1967. It is the best known of the "Healey" models. The body of the car was made by Jensen Motors and the vehicles were assembled at BMC's MG Works in Abingdon, alongside the corporation's MG models.

During its production life, the car went from an open sports car, albeit with an option to transport 2 + 2 children, to a convertible sports car.

In 1963, 91.5% of all Austin-Healey 3000 cars were exported; mainly for North America.

The 3-liter 3000 was a highly successful car that won its class in many European rallies at its peak and is still run in classic car competitions by enthusiasts today.

British Motor Corporation stopped manufacturing in 1967, intending to replace its car with a new, albeit similar, engine in a more recently designed monocoque MGB variant, called MGC.
