Austin-Healey 3000 mk1 Fully restored, Matching numbers, long term owners 1959
General description :
Austin Healey 3000 MK1. Built in August 1959, it left the factory on the 27th August and was shipped to San Francisco in the USA. It is a 3000 MK1 2-seater of which only 2825 were ever built. Halfway through the 90’s it arrived at its last owner, the Zanini Family from Atascadero California (Black plate). When it arrived the car appeared to be in a fairly good and original state, with its white over black two-tone finish. During the subsequent restoration many challenges were overwon eventually leading to an astonishing final result. Every detail was taken care of, with all moving parts, engine and gearbox being overhauled. There is an extensive photographic rapportage showing the restoration process. Some 25 years later in 2019 we bought the car off the family. The Heritage certificate confirms the car’s matching numbers and authenticity. A lovely and very well maintained MK1!

Austin-Healey was a British sports car make created as a joint-venture between the Austin division of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and the Donald Healey Motor Company.
First Healey model, Healey 100, was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and developed by Donald Healey to be build in-house. They finished a single Healey Hundred for the 1952 London Motor Show. Leonard Lord, managing director of Austin was so impressed by the design that a deal was duly struck with Healey and the car was renamed the Austin-Healey 100 overnight. Austin Healey was born. 100 derived into 100-six, and different 3000 versions before they quit the production in 1968 as the basic design had finally become obsolete.
