According to the BMIHT, chassis no. 35928 was completed by the factory on 18 April 1966 and originally delivered to New York 10 days later on 28 April. Equipped with wire wheels, Roadspeed tires, a heater, adjustable steering column, laminated windscreen, and overdrive, this Mk III was finished in traditional British Racing Green over a black interior and fitted with a matching black top. It was subsequently restored by Austin-Healey expert Kurt Tanner and finished in the stunning shade of Sand Beige over a dark red leather interior with contrasting beige piping. Included with this lovely Big Healey is a spare wire wheel in the trunk, as well as a driver's handbook and knock-off hammer. Beautifully restored by one of the marque's leading experts, the Austin-Healey appears as fresh today as it did in 1966.

Perfect for cruising around town with the top down or touring across the country, this Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III is sure to delight its next owner.
