Description
At Hilton and Moss we are pleased to have this beautiful Austin Healey 3000 for sale at our Bishops Stortford showroom. First released in 1959 the Austin Healey 3000 production ran up until 1967 with MK1, MK11, MK11A and MK111 all built during this time. This particular car is a MK111 Phase 2 built in the very final year of production 1967. The MK111 was the most revised variant in the range with a claimed 150 BHP thanks to a new high lift camshaft and an all new ‘De Luxe’ interior which featured a wooden dash and a fold-down rear luggage shelf. In 1964 the Mk111 received twin indicators and a revised chassis for increased ground clearance and useability.
