1959 Austin Healey 3000 MK1 For Sale

One of the best examples for sale, this is a truly superb example in utterly reliable and usable condition, it has just driven 700 miles through France as it has done every year for the past 12 years without fault, it is freshly serviced and ready to take you anywhere by road.

Restored over 15 years ago and used for long distance touring Rallys, such as Highland tour, classic malts, Lancashire classic tour, tour Auto (France) amongst others etc from 2001 until present day. Valued by Rawles Motorsport at £65. 000 with a letter confirming this and a current insured value of £70. 000.

This Lovely and rare 2 Seat Healey was restored professionally by JME 15 years ago to truly outstanding condition, and following every event or holiday it has been cleaned wheels off and re-detailed, for example it has stainless nuts on the Diff housing and the suspension, stainless screws on the inner panels and boot floor, even visible from underneath.

It is rot and rust free, totally and any inspection is welcomed, the panel gaps are first class, it has recently (May 2019) had all new brake shoes and linings, both front calipers fully serviced and rebuilt, stainless pistons, new pads and discs, new fluid, it has goodrich braided lines throughout. All bushes front and rear renewed in November 18 whilst off the road for winter. Engine rebuilt in 2012 using high compression pistons and a fast road camshaft, nothing silly just a bit more pep and fitted a competition spec overdrive so nice and positive when used, full stainless steel exhaust to original spec but manifolds polished so sounds gorgeous.

Bare metal painted again in 2010 and as good as you are likely to find, it is stunning, no flat spots or sinkage, a lovely finish, but it should be it was just over £10k!! A perfectly fitting hood and side screens in as new condition as are the hood frames, all correct cast fittings for the side screens are immaculate having been re chromed, the underside is in outstanding condition, no welds or unsightly metal work, just smart finishes and everything where it is supposed to be.

All original features are present as is the Heritage Certificate confirming dispatch date, and that it was always this colour and retains its original engine, and gearbox.

I welcome any viewing so you can fully appreciate just how nice this car really is! and to drive it is remarkable, handles superbly having been set up correctly, happy sitting at 80mph all day long! and I mean that, I can demonstrate it, weather gear works properly as does the heater and the fans, even has new screen tubes for the de-mist.

Reason for sale I hear you ask! I want another Boat, I have seen a classic wooden powerboat and I cant afford both, that simple.

Please feel free to message me and come and view before bidding, and if you are a serious buyer coming from a long way and you feel I have inaccurately described the condition of my car I will pay your fuel!

I have all bills for all of the work carried out so I am able to substantiate the works carried out.

Happy to arrange delivery U. K. wide once payment received.
