Auction description:
Lot 15
1960 Austin-Healey 3000 MKI
Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000

This purposeful-looking Big Healey has been in its current ownership since 1973 and was treated to an engine overhaul and general restoration between 1989 and 1992. In more recent years it has served as a classic rally car, and to that end is equipped with: road rally camshaft, six-branch exhaust manifold, competition clutch, straight-cut gearbox with competition overdrive, limited slip differential, alloy sump and guard, Works hard top, roll hoop and Cibi£ auxiliary lights, and in this form competed on the 1997 Monte Carlo and 1999 Rally des Alpes events. More recently, '1735 ME' has benefited from new wings and dampers on the rear.

It is finished in the attractive combination of White hard top over Light Metallic Blue bodywork, teamed with dark Blue interior trim. The vendor currently considers the bodywork, interior trim, straight-six engine and transmission to be in 'very good' order, and the paintwork to be of a 'good' standard, and is selling the Healey complete with green log book, large collection of tax discs and old MOTs, plus one valid into August of next year. The following are available by separate negotiation: hood, tonneau cover and bumpers.
