Car was at auction 3/07
www.brightwells.com/classiccars/PastResults/tabid/321/Default.aspx

Auction description:
Body colour: Red/Silver
Date Manufactured: 1959
Registration Number: 680 YRW
Chassis Number: HBT7-4402
Engine Number: 29D-RO-H5456
History:
First registered in 1959 and still on it's original, transferable number plates, this Austin-Healey 3000 MkI is said to be in good, useable condition throughout. Restored in 1980, it comes with a fair amount of history going back to that date plus a Heritage Certificate confirming that it is an original UK car.

The chassis is said to be dead straight and to show no signs of previous damage. The engine is said to be very strong and lively with excellent oil pressure and no smoke, while the handling and general driving dynamics are also described as very good. The car benefits from the desirable overdrive gearbox option which also functions as it should. Soft top and side screens come with the car but there is no tonneau cover or hard top.

With a long MOT and due to be driven 70 miles to the sale, this highly usable car only needs a bit of cosmetic detailing here and there to turn it into a very tidy machine indeed. Altogether a good opportunity to acquire a sound example of one of the most charismatic British sports cars at a very realistic guide price.
Guide price 10,000
