In the history of classic cars, the Austin Healey 3000 is without a doubt one of the most popular sports cars. This is not only due to the beautiful and stylish lines, but also certainly due to the powerful 6-cylinder in-line engine in the engine compartment. This Austin-Healey 3000, produced in 1964, is one of the last MKII versions. This is the BJ7 version, so the 2 + 2 seater version.
This beautiful Austin Healey 3000 is in exceptionally beautiful condition.… The beautiful color Healey blue is a perfect combination with the dark blue leather interior. Originally, this Austin Healey was delivered to Virginia, United States and in 1988 this car came to the Netherlands. After an extensive and very thorough body-off restoration (various photos available) and in which the engine block and gearbox were also overhauled, the car was registered in the Netherlands in 1994. The last owner has owned the car since 1996 (almost 30 years!) and has maintained this ‘Big-Healey’ with great care and love. This is not only evident from the excellent condition of the car itself, but also from the many maintenance invoices that are present with the car.
If a car, after a thorough restoration, still looks this good after about 30 years, then that says a lot about the very good quality of the restoration itself. The bodywork is in very good condition and the stylish colour Healey blue still has a very deep and beautiful shine. The chrome work and the various trim parts are also still in very good condition. This also applies to the rubber parts and finishes. A stylish chrome luggage rack is also available with the car. The particularly beautiful, chrome spoke rims give this car extra class. The badge bar at the front in combination with the Lucas spotlights also give the car an extra sporty character. The body parts fit together very well and the doors close well and securely. The dark blue convertible top is in very good condition. There is also a dark blue tonneau with the car, which is also still in very good condition (almost new).
The beautiful dark blue interior is beautiful to see. It is in exceptionally good condition and the seats are particularly comfortable and good. The dark blue carpeting is also in very good condition. The interior also clearly shows that this Austin Healey has been cared for with a lot of love. The dashboard is in very good condition and all instruments work properly. The car is also equipped with a beautiful classic Tripmaster. The stylish Moto Lita steering wheel with wooden rim is not only beautiful to look at, but also feels nice and firm in the hands. The various chrome and trim parts in the interior are still in very good and shiny condition.
When we open the hood, we see a neatly maintained engine compartment. The beautiful 6-cylinder in-line engine block runs particularly smoothly and quietly. This Austin Healey is also equipped with an extra (electrically switchable) cooling fan. Furthermore, this car is also equipped with an electronic ignition. This Austin Healey 3000 drives very smoothly and wonderfully and the shifting is also accurate and smooth. The overdrive provides extra comfort at higher speeds. The brakes feel firm and good and the steering also feels very good and solid.
Without a doubt, this is not only a beautiful Austin Healey to look at, but also a particularly excellently maintained car.
