This highly desirable Phase II Healey was built in May 1965. It is an original left-hand- drive model delivered to New York and equipped with the following factory options: Adjustable steering column, Black tonneau cover, Heater, Laminated windscreen, Luggage rack, Speedometer calibrated in miles per hour and Wire wheels.
This wonderful example of the ultimate “Big Healey” received a thorough, photo documented rotisserie restoration by marque specialist Fred Brander. It was performed for the owner at the time, an Austin Healey Club concours judge and thus performed to Austin- Healey Club Concours Gold standards. No area of the car was left untouched. Since restoration, this Healey has not been shown on the concours lawn instead it has been collector owned and cared for since restoration. In 2012 and due to its exceptional condition throughout, it was used as the cover car and subject Healey for the September 2012 edition of Classic Motorsports magazine.
This Healey 3000 is complete with an original hardcover owner’s manual, tools, factory jack and has enjoyed only limited use since restoration. In its most recent ownership, it has been cared for by Autosport Designs, Inc. regardless of use. It remains one of the finest of its kind and in rare factory Pacific Green color.
An exceptional example of a highly collectible and enjoyable Big Healey Six ready for show or touring pleasure.
