Highlights: – Photo report of the restoration available – 30 years one owner – 2.9 litre 6-cylinder engine – Manual gearbox with overdrive – British Racing Green paintwork The 1965 Austin Healey 3000 Mk3 is the ultimate evolution of the legendary “Big Healey” and is known for its powerful performance and timeless British charm. Under the long bonnet lies the characterful 2.9 litre 6-cylinder engine coupled to a manual gearbox with overdrive, ensuring a smooth yet sporty driving experience. This example was restored in the past, and an extensive photo report of the restoration is available. In addition, the car has been owned by a single owner for no less than 30 years, which speaks volumes about the care and dedication with which this classic has been treated. Thanks to this combination of history, engineering, and documentation, this is a particularly attractive Healey for the enthusiast. The exterior of this Austin Healey is finished in the iconic British Racing Green paintwork, which contrasts beautifully with the many chrome accents and the classic chrome wire wheels. This allows the lines of the bodywork to be shown to their best advantage, giving the car an elegant, sporty appearance. The black soft top complements the whole seamlessly and makes the car a feast for the eyes, whether open or closed. The interior is finished in stylish black and is in well-maintained condition, featuring comfortable seats and a beautiful wooden dashboard that harmonizes perfectly with the exterior. All together, this constitutes a classic British sports car experience par excellence, where style, comfort, and driving pleasure come together. Condition of the Bodywork and Paint 4.
