A left-hand drive export model which was originally shipped to the USA, this particular example has only recently been repatriated. The vendor informs us that the Big Healey "was delivered new in the LA area. The last owner bought the car in 1981 and kept it until 2010. There's a full history file with registration slips back to the 1970s including a metal credit card detailing the owner's name and address". He goes on to say "This a structurally superb car with excellent panel gaps, and an incredibly original, unrestored interior with correct vinyl seats and dashboard. The motor has excellent oil pressure and runs smoothly and does not overheat, and the gearbox is strong. A well-looked after car with 90k miles from new". Seemingly ideal for Continental motoring, this desirable last-of-the-line 3000 MkIII is offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document and current MOT certificate.

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is now registered as KKH417D has an MOT until Feb 2012.
