The 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 MK III represents the absolute pinnacle
of British roadster development, and this fully restored example
presents one of the most stunning color combinations ever applied
to the iconic "Big Healey" - a lustrous Healey Blue exterior paired
with a rich navy blue leather interior and matching navy blue
convertible top. The result is a tonal masterpiece that flows
seamlessly from bonnet to boot.
This Healey has underwent a comprehensive restoration. The Healey
Blue paintwork glows with mirror-like depth, complemented perfectly
by gleaming chrome bumpers, polished wire wheels, and brightwork
that sparkles in any light. The navy blue convertible top fits taut
and true, providing both weather protection and that classic top-up
British roadster silhouette that enthusiasts adore.
Slide behind the wood-rimmed steering wheel and you're greeted by
an interior that exemplifies craftsmanship. The navy blue leather
seating has been beautifully restored, complemented by navy
carpeting and a walnut-veneered dashboard housing correct Smiths
instrumentation. Every detail - from the toggle switches to the
chrome interior hardware - shows beautifully.
Beneath the long, louvered bonnet resides the legendary 2,912cc
inline-six, producing 150 horsepower through twin SU carburetors.
Backed by a four-speed manual transmission with electric overdrive,
this drivetrain delivers the throaty, mechanical exhaust note that
has thrilled enthusiasts for nearly six decades. The MK III Phase
II refinements - including the redesigned dashboard, wind-up
windows, and folding convertible top - transformed the 3000 into a
true grand touring sports car without compromising its raw sporting
appeal. Mechanically sorted throughout, this Austin-Healey starts,
runs, and drives exactly as the factory intended.
The Austin-Healey 3000 MK III remains one of the most desirable
British sports cars ever produced, with pristine examples like this
continuing to appreciate steadily. The combination of Healey Blue
over navy is rare, refined, and undeniably striking - turning heads
at every cars and coffee, club rally, or judged event.
