1959 Austin Healey 3000 MkI Rally Replica
The origins of this faithful replica of an early BMC works Austin-Healey 3000 rally car are not known, but the vehicle does incorporate a number of very rare and highly desirable genuine works parts. �HBT7/13749� is a 1959 chassis number, and the vehicle has an early works engine, �XSP 2188-1�. This car has triple HD8 SU carburettors on long works-type manifolds, steel front wings, aluminium alloy bonnet, steel doors and rear wings, works-type boot lid and a 100/6-type side change gearbox. Other noteworthy features include works-type scuttle scoops, works-type oil cooler, interior to early works specification and reinforced front suspension and engine mounts. Presented in apparently good overall condition, the vehicle represents a rare opportunity to acquire an accurate replica of a works Austin-Healey 3000 rally car, incorporating a large number of highly desirable genuine works components, at a fraction of its total build costs today. Offered without documents.
