1966 Austin-Healey 3000

The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built from 1959 until 1967. It is the best known of the "big Healey" models. The car's bodywork was made by Jensen Motors and the vehicles were assembled at BMC's MG Works in Abingdon, alongside the corporation's MG models.
 
During its production life, the car changed from an open sports car, transporting 2+2 option, to a sports convertible. In 1963, 91.5 percent of all Austin-Healey 3000 cars were exported; mostly to North America. The 3-litre 3000 was a highly successful car, which won its class in many European rallies in its heyday and is still raced in classic car competitions by enthusiasts today.

Steering and handling improvements included new anti sway bars, rebuilt front and rear shocks, new bump boxes, and new bushes and some work on the spindles. The fuel tank was removed and refurbished, new glass all around. Front and rear springs are original.
