With roots stemming to the Healey 100 that was first shown at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show, the Austin-Healey 3000 is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and popular British sports cars ever built. The 3000 was introduced in 1959 to replace the 100-6, and it offered the same charm as its predecessor, along with some welcome updates, chief amongst which was a new 2,912-cubic centimeter inline six-cylinder engine. The 3000 was a hit both in showroom floors and on the race track, carrying on the commercial and competition successes of its predecessor. In 1962 (or 1963), a second-series 3000, dubbed the Mark II, was introduced, and it offered a handful of updates over the existing model, most notably a curved-windshield and windup windows, making the car much more hospitable for longer drives. With the Mark II, the two-seater was abandoned and only a 2+2 was built. The Austin-Healey 3000, a sports car that is just as excellent to drive as it is to behold, remains treasured amongst enthusiasts as one of the greatest British cars of its era, and it is a car that no collection should be without. This Austin-Healey is in incredible condition, having accumulated less than 200 miles following its restoration, and it is one to be cherished.
