• Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII Convertible with 4-speed manual gearbox and overdrive • 2, 912 cc engine • Displayed mileage of 79, 314 miles • Older professional restoration • Belgian registration documents and Belgian Car-Pass present The Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII Convertible is one of the most recognisable British sports cars of the 1960s. Its long bonnet, classic roadster lines and open-air driving experience give it the character for which the big Healeys remain particularly appreciated today. This example was first registered on 22 April 1965 and is presented in British Racing Green. The 2, 912 cc engine is paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. The displayed mileage is 79, 314 miles. The car has benefited from a professional restoration in the past. The bodywork has been repainted and shows signs of use. The interior has also been restored and presents well, with wear marks consistent with the age and use of the car. From a technical standpoint, the Austin-Healey drives very well. The engine is in honest good condition and the car has been well maintained. The clutch, 4-speed manual gearbox, overdrive and brakes all function correctly. Points of attention include an oil leak at the cylinder head gasket, a handbrake requiring adjustment and older tyres. Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an expert report for this car.
