Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer an iconic British Roadster.
This 1961 Austin Healey 3000 Roaster is powered by its 3.0 liter
overhead cam inline six cylinder engine fed by dual SU carbs, 4
speed manual transmission with overdrive and rear wheel drive. It
is presented in Old English White with Tartan Red coves, over a red
interior with white piping and black canvas top. Highlights
include: Knock off wire wheels, original "banjo" style steering
wheel, original gauges, bent shifter, heater, full tonneau cover,
newer stainless steel exhaust, newer fuel tank, etc.
The car is presented as a good "driver quality" vehicle that has
been selectively refurbished to include an older repaint and
interior upholstery. The exterior possesses good fitment and the
paint shows very good for its age. It is not perfect with some
minor wear and flaws visible. The Interior remains very tidy and
shows very well. The original steering and original gauges show
good patina with the carpet and upholstery remaining clean and
tidy. The underside of the car remains original and shows excellent
structural integrity. It has not been undercoated in any way and
has nothing to hide. The motor compartment is clean and appears
complete.
Mechanically, the car does run and drive very well. It possesses
all the classic qualities one would expect from an Austin Healey
3000. The car starts easily, pulls strong in all gears, shifts
well, the overdrive engages properly and brakes straight. It
carries that distinct and pleasing exhaust note and overall it is a
spirited driver that delivers a classic British open air driving
experience.
This Austin Healey is not a trailer queen, nor is it priced as
such. They are known for their drivability, reliability and driver
enjoyment. It is ready to deliver.
