Background
A follow on to the 100/6 the Austin Healey 3000 was a British sports car produced by the British Motor Corporation between 1959 and 1967 where upon it was succeeded by the MGC.
Utilising throughout Austin Healeys 3000cc straight six engines, coupled to rear wheel drive via a 4-speed gearbox, they offered an exceptional, sporting driving experience. Many sporting successes in both racing and rallying were achieved throughout their production years, and they are still highly successful in todays cut and thrust of historic motorsport.
History
According to the car’s original buff logbook, it was first registered on the 22nd of November 1962 to a gentleman from the Cardiff area of South Wales.
It then passed through a number of hands in the 60s but then the trail goes cold. Subsequently purchased by Colin Stewart of Northallerton in 2003, he then set about a full restoration to racing / rallying specification.
In 2005 the vendor, deciding that a foray into Historic Rallying was in order, spotted the Healey for sale and a deal was done.
Since then, the glorious Healey has been a frequent competitor on both Uk & European events in the hands of its enthusiastic owners.
To quote the vendor “The car was entered into the 2005 Classic Marathon London Greenwich to Lisbon, a 10-day event through the Picos de Europa and on through central Portugal arriving in Lisbon. We won the event, so it was a good start for relative novices. Over the next ten years we competed in many UK and European Events including a wet week in Iceland, with varied success, elation and frustration but travelled to many destinations we would not have visited and made many good friends along the way. “
The vendor continues to participate in historic rallies and with advancing years, now prefers the space and comfort afforded by his Pagoda Mercedes but says it’s “not as much fun or performance” when comparing to the Healey 3000.
Paperwork
There is of course a current V5c registration document, there’s also the original buff logbook.
There is a current FIVA (Federation Internationale Des Vehicules Anciens ) registration document and a file containing restoration pictures and receipts for many works carried out over the years.
This car has an Mot to Dec ’21.
Interior
Just take a good look at the dash photo’s, this car has all you’ll ever need to compete in historic road rallies. It’s very functional and built for a single purpose, ie navigating around a complicated route, day or night, paved or unpaved roads & keeping to a tight time schedule.
The rest of the inside is in great condition, the “bucket” seats are very supportive and in 2017, the whole interior was treated to a refit in quality leather to the tune of £5,800. 4-point Willans harnesses are fitted along with a fire extinguisher.
Purposeful, functional, practical and comfortable about sums it up.
Exterior
Black paint over Minilite replica alloy wheels, stylish.
This car has been used as it was designed to do and therefore the paintwork on very close inspection, has one or two chips & a little micro scrolling. It’s honest & shows that it’s been regularly cleaned but it’s a rally car so to be expected. Stand back only a couple of feet though and as you’ll see in the photos, it looks fabulous.
Chrome work is solid and possibly original, certainly the whole exterior is attractive and just how a good used competition car should look.
The hood would appear to be fairly new and fits well over the roll bar, offering protection from raging elements when needed.
Overall, a great looking car fitted with suitable period accessories which would attract attention at any classic car show, or more importantly Classic Marathon stage.
Mechanicals
The Healey had a complete engine rebuilt in 2014 carried out by Keith Savage of KSS North Ltd, a well-known historic rally specialist.
It has a rally cam and coupled with triple carbs, is thought to produce 160 -170 bhp and sounds just fabulous through its side exit exhausts.
It drives through an original 4 speed gearbox which includes overdrive in third & top gears. An oil cooler had been added to help with heat dispersion when the engine is working hard up those alpine passes.
When moved around for the photographs, the engine sounded quiet & smooth and appeared to drive easily even though it was chilly on the day and the engine wasn’t up to temperature, signs of a well sorted car.
Along with this car are 6 spare wire wheels with tyres, a hard top, the original steering wheel and original seats, photos inc.
Appeal
This Healey isn’t really a Sunday afternoon cruiser although it’s more than capable of doing so, it’s been built to be used in historic rallies and reliability events and with its 160-170 bhp, Avon ZZR tyres & navigation equipment, it’s just the ticket for competitive motoring.
Big Healeys look good, sound even better, and are a joy to drive, open top motoring at its best!

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
