The Austin Healey 3000 Mk II was introduced in May 1961. The adoption of a new vertical bar grill distinguished it at first glance, but the novelty was under the hood. An additional carburetor was added to match the new operative rules, as well as a new gearbox with central lever and improved ratio was adapted. 5096 units were produced. The model presented benefited from a complete quality restoration from 2011 to 2015. Indeed, its owner, a demanding collector, wanted a model in perfect condition. The body and chassis were stripped bare before being treated and repainted, the rolling gears were restored, and the engine was rebuilt, benefiting from some improvements, including a sports exhaust manifold. To match this revision, the upholstery has also been completely replaced. The hood in perfect condition and side-screens are the rain gear. We invite the enthusiasts to consult the important file of invoices testifying the care brought to this restoration, which took place without consideration of cost nor time. Superb, in good working order and having benefited from subtle improvements, this big Healey is ready to take the road.
