Description
This is an incredible recreation of the Austin Healey 3000Mk3
It was Factory built in 2016 by the owner of Sebring International, Phil Overall, to an all new BMW based design.
Motorsport fans will find the name ‘Phil Overall’ familiar as he has a long history (starting with Broadspeed) building championship winning cars for the British and European Touring Car Championships. This car has been fastidiously built to exacting standards.
This SX is the top of the range specification that would cost over £50k to be built by Sebring today.
Less than 3000 miles from new.
The BMW 6 cylinder 2. 5 litre fuel injected engine delivers a creamy smooth 200bhp through a 5 speed manual BMW gearbox.
With a 60ltr fuel tank and 32mpg gives this SX a range of over 400 miles to a tank, ideal for touring.
This engine was specifically chosen to pay homage to the original Healey’s 3. 0l 150 bhp straight six.
The engine/ gearbox had a mileage of 52k when installed.
The full custom stainless steel exhaust makes a glorious sound.
The Sebring SX weighs less than 1000kg, the original was 1157kg so with less weight and more power it is surprisingly quick, whilst retaining the reliability, tractability and economy of a modern fuel injected BMW engine.
The wire wheels are genuine wires with central spindle hubs, these alone cost over £4k.
Inside is sumptuous, all beautifully trimmed in leather, for the chilly mornings the reclining leather seats are heated, they look stunning in blue leather with cream piping with full headrests.
The Sebring has a perfect dark blue canvas hood, Leather steering wheel, wind deflector behind the head rests and Electric windows.
The car is also equipped with a modern heater
The single piece polished Burr Elm dash and centre console are beautiful and for touring I have installed a modern CD Radio with Bluetooth compatibility for phone and music.
The car is painted in authentic Austin Healey colours - Ice Blue over Cream White with lots of quality Chrome - chrome bumpers with over-riders, front spot lights, hinges, mirrors badges and the Healey triple wipers.
The Sebring SX has been well looked after and has been properly stored in a dehumidified Carcoon, that may be available through separate negotiation. The only known fault is that that the speedo isn’t working. Mot until Spring 22.
Offers in the region of £21k will be entertained, priced for a quick sale.
