Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this very nice 3000 Mk1. This car was recently purchased from it's Colorado owner of the past 15 years, who purchased the car originally from the sunny dry state of Arizona. This car is a very attractive in the quintessential/signature Healey color scheme of Ice Blue over Ivory.
The body on this is very good to excellent with no signs of rust or accidents. It was recently painted within the past couple years. The paintwork is excellent with only a couple issues with an outward ding on the trunk lid and a small crack at the bonnet closure area on the front shroud (both pictured). The rest of the car is perfectly fine.The car's undercarriage is excellent, solid, original, and almost entirely rustfree. The RH outer rocker panel was properly replaced. The LH one is still the original. The original drivetrain oils and road dust have preserved it very well !
The cars engine was rebuilt approximately 5 years ago according to the previous owner. The engine starts easily, revs well with very good oil pressure and no noises, and exhibits perfect behavior for a rebuilt engine. The car runs, drives, stops, and rides very well. First gear has the typical whine from some wear but is uasable. The rest of the gearbox operates smoothly with nice syncromesh on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and a working overdrive unit. The exhaust system is newer. The original wire wheels are freshly restored with nice tires and good tread. All of the fluids appear normal and are up to the mark.
The car is currently fitted with a useful roll bar. The interior has been retrimmed in a non-standard color/pattern but is still nice and presentable for use. The black soft top is the correct Everflex brand and fits the car very well. The original sidecurtain set is included and could use some restoration. The gauges and switchgear all appear nice and in good condition.
The car still retains it's original VIN plate and body tag. The engine fitted is from a slightly later 3000 MK1, about 4000 units later.
Overall, a lovely attractive driver that is structurally excellent, with newer paint and rebuilt engine. One could perform some easy improvements later, such as a correct retrim or engine detail. The car stands today as a totally usable road car ready to enjoy the summer.
