Body-off restored Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III
Few British sports cars capture the imagination quite like the “Big Healey.” What began in 1952 as a collaboration between Donald Healey and BMC evolved into one of the most iconic roadsters of the 1950s and 1960s, achieving significant success in rallying. The 3000 Mk III represented the pinnacle of the series: offering more power, greater comfort, and a full dashboard featuring walnut trim—all while retaining its raw, spirited character. At the heart of this 1965 Austin-Healey lies a 2.9-litre inline-six engine equipped with dual SU carburettors. The engine has been overhauled and is matching numbers; it is paired with a four-speed manual transmission featuring overdrive—perfect for relaxed highway driving. The car underwent a body-off restoration in 2017, and a photographic record of the process is available, allowing you to see exactly what work was carried out.
The two-tone paint scheme—Healey Blue combined with Ivory White—is a classic pairing that beautifully accentuates the sweeping lines of the Big Healey, with the light-coloured side panels highlighting the long bonnet and the muscular rear wings. Painted wire wheels, the oval chrome grille, the characteristic bumper overriders, the chrome air intake on the bonnet, and the dual exhaust complete the picture. The dark blue soft top integrates seamlessly with the interior. Inside, you will find dark blue upholstery with contrasting white piping, dark blue carpeting, and a dashboard featuring burr walnut wood, centered around the classic round gauges. The cool blue tones—both inside and out—warmed by the rich wood and enlivened by the white accents of the piping and the car’s flanks, give this Mk III an understated yet distinctly elegant appearance.
