1960 Austin Healy 3000 MK1. Soft and Hardtops. New Mot. For Sale

Have had the car out and on the road for a few weeks in the summer sun, even took it for an mot, it failed on the usual minor things , lights and wipers, a ball joint, nothing serious, so put it in for a full health check and the work required done.

It will have a new Mot, and anything needing doing, done. It drives superbly, very sprightly for a car of its age. Ready to enjoy the summer sun.

I got the hardtop out of storage, and it had a scratch, it is currently black, but will be repainted and can be any shade you like, But as everything else is black and white, black is probably the answer.

I have underside pictures on the mot ramp, and will do a video once it returns, should be this week.


Currently a showroom display, this 3000 MK1 was built between 28/ 31 March 1960 and sent to California on 7th April 1960. Confirmed by heritage certificate.
There it stayed until circa 1990, being moved to Norway, where it was restored and prepared to compete in the 2000 year, Monte Carlo Historique. apparently kept in the front room of the owners house while in Norway.

Eventually finding its way to the UK from Norway in 2014. Changing hands again in 2017, At this point the paint was chipped in places from its exploits in Norway and it received a full exterior repaint in the original scheme.

Options were limited, wire wheels, overdrive gearbox, laminated windscreen, interior heater, detachable hardtop for BT7, adjustable steering column and this one has the lot. Also being the 3000 it had disc front brakes which the earlier 100/ 6 2600 did not.

It also had a couple of subtle mods since being in the UK, more blades on the fan than original so no problems in traffic, and 123 mappable distributor for ease of starting, otherwise still as it left the factory.

The restoration re trim is period correct and as it was built, still in beautiful condition and the factory hardtop that was only available for the 2+2 BT7 model is still with the car, currently black, but can be painted white if you prefer, or any colour for that matter, though it does not need it.

Beautiful car, ex California, so I doubt the older restoration was much more than paint and re trim, and not a fresh restoration with fresh paint that will come back and bite you, last painted in 2017 by its second UK owner.
Interesting traceable history from new.

More pictures, walk round video, available on request for seriously interested parties.

The car can be viewed during business hours, 7 days a week in Essex.

I can put you in touch with a company that will transport this car to anywhere in Europe. Malta is no problem as another local company ship vehicles back and forth regularly. further afield you will need to arrange, but delivery to ports or agents is no problem at all.
