Lot 023: Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII
Classic Car, Motorcycle & Automobilia, Brightwells Auctioneers and Valuers (23rd September 2009)
The final and ultimate production development of the Austin Healey 100/3000 range arrived in 1964, the 3000 MkIII. The MkIII now had even more power than before (150bhp) and a much more civilized interior compared to earlier models.
Standard mechanical equipment now included a brake servo and twin trailing arms for the rear suspension which improved handling and gave the car much-needed extra ground clearance. The biggest changes appeared inside the car, including a wood veneered dashboard, a centre console/gear surround, better seats and proper wind up windows.
Dating from 1965, this Colorado Red example is a genuine UK market right-hand drive car that is said to be in excellent condition throughout. Rather than the standard twin SU carb set up, this car has been upgraded with the fitment of triple 45 DCOE Weber carburetors which give a significant boost to performance. Other desirable features include a four-speed manual overdrive gearbox, black leather interior, stainless steel exhaust, MotaLita wood rim steering wheel, a heater and chrome wire wheels.
Apparently the subject of much recent expenditure, it comes with a long MOT, full weather equipment and tonneau cover and a comprehensive history file.
