This has
to be one of the best Austin Healeys ever offered for sale. This is an
immaculately restored Austin Healey 3000. We started with a well cared for
donor car, who according to our information was owned by the same service
station owner for over 30 years!!!
Our goal
was a SHOWCAR-DRIVER. We desired perfection and restored it like we were going
to keep it forever! No shortcuts, no stone unturned!
Car was
already bare-metaled and painted by a previous owner. Paint is immaculate!
Below is

original engine rebuild: we have put 1500 miles on the car to properly sort and

problem
NEW top
boot, purchased from AH Spares in England, this one fits, unlike those

If you
are looking for a quality Show-Car that is also a reliable driver, then THIS IS
THAT CAR! In my opinion everything has been done. With proper care and plenty
of exercise this car will be a joy to drive and trouble-free for many years to
come.
I take
pride in restoring these cars. This is the 9th big Healey I have owned!!! I am the contractor as I leave the work up to
the professionals!!! Sometimes I insist things be redone if not up to par, Of
course many times I pay for the redo.
We are
asking $112, 000 for an expertly restored and very reliable classic that is
appreciating rapidly. This is a restoration that is well documented with many
detailed receipts. Detailed receipts are key for good appreciation of value:
proper documentation.

We started with a well cared for donor car, who according to our information was owned by the same service station owner for over 30 years. This long time ownership sure shows in the condition of the car, its tightness and handling. Our restoration goal was a SHOWCAR-DRIVER. We desired perfection and restored it like we were going to keep it forever! No shortcuts, no stone unturned!This restoration was not a disassemble, order parts, assemble restoration. A lot of thought and meticulous planning went into this classic.” |
