British Motor Corporation announced the release of the Austin
Healey 3000 MK1 in July, 1959. Various models of the Healey 3000
series remained in production through 1967 when all Austin Healey
manufacturing ceased. This 1960 Healey 3000 MK1/BT-7 (4-seater) has
been the beneficiary of a complete rotisserie restoration. The
current owner has been the caretaker of this stunning roadster for
over 37 years and has furnished a comprehensive history of the
restoration process including receipts. This 3000 MK1 is not a
concourse show car, but it is very, very close. The frame, chassis
and all body panels were carefully prepped and beautifully
refinished in 2-stage acrylic Old English White (2379) and Colorado
Red (3742), all color-sanded to a 'street concourse' finish. Chrome
is excellent and sparkling 15" chrome wheels w/stainless wire
spokes mount nearly new radials. The seats were reupholstered in
high-grade red leather and, along with the handsome red carpet, are
very impressive. A matching red top and boot cover are virtually
flawless. As for the rest of the interior, look at the photos again
- this passenger compartment is outstanding. The 2.9L motor resides
in a spotless engine compartment and was totally rebuilt (2010).
The factory fitted the MK1 3000 series with dual SU-HD6 carburetors
and it was rated at 124bhp/167b-ft. The Healey 4-speed is fitted
with electric overdrive and the rear differential was factory
equipped with 3.91:1 gearing. The spotless chassis is equipped
manual steering and manual Girling 11" dia. front disc/rear drum
brakes (all components rebuilt). The suspension is front coil/rear
leaf and all suspension components have also been carefully
refreshed. If you appreciate classic British motoring, do not
delay. This is your Healey Austin Healy 3000 MK1 - photos do not do
it justice. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
