Austin-Healey 3000 MK3: body-off restored
The Austin-Healey 3000 MK3 from 1965. What a car, what charisma. The moment you see it, you understand why this British sports car still sets hearts racing today. This example has been completely body-off, nut & bolt restored, down to the finest detail. The restoration work has been fully documented with invoices and photographs, clear proof of the care and dedication invested in this Healey.

Matching numbers
This particular car proudly retains its matching numbers, confirmed by a Heritage Certificate. At the same time, it has been refined with subtle “Works” modifications such as a triple-carburettor setup, improved cooling, and delicate adjustments to the bodywork. The result? More smoothness, more breath, more character.

And just look at the colour: Basilica Blue with grey interior. A shade that seems to capture the light and return it in a silvery-blue glow. In this colour, the Healey is not only elegant but also bold – as if it could set off at any moment towards the rolling English hills.

The most refined Austin-Healey
In 1965, the MK3 represented the crown of Donald Healey’s work. With its 148 bhp straight-six engine and its gear lever finally positioned at the centre of the tunnel, it was faster, stronger, and more refined than ever before. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under ten seconds, and with a top speed of around 195 km/h, it could easily compete with the greats of its era.
But a Healey is not about numbers – it is about feeling. When you start the engine, you don’t just hear a sound; you experience pure emotion. The deep growl, the mechanical rhythm, the perfect driving position — this is the quintessential British sports car: rugged and gentlemanly at the same time.

Although production ended in 1967, the 3000 MK3 remained an icon. This particular example, professionally maintained (with a recent €4,000 service by a specialist), is living proof of that. Its paintwork shines, its interior strikes the perfect balance between authenticity and professional restoration quality, and its driving experience — that blend of muscle and charm — reminds you why this car is adored worldwide.
