NOTE Beautiful 1964 Austin Healey 3000 MkIII Phase 1, representing the very first iteration of the most refined and advanced version of the Big Healeys.

Powered by a 3. 0-litre inline six-cylinder engine delivering 150 hp, paired with a 4-speed gearbox and overdrive, the Phase 1 model features a wooden dashboard and upgrades that mark a clear evolution over earlier versions, while still retaining some charming classic details.

The car is in excellent condition throughout, mechanically sound and aesthetically pristine.

It is extremely reliable and a joy to drive on any road.

It seats four passengers and features a fast-closing mohair soft top, providing easy access even to the rear seats — a rare feature among classic sports cars.

Its top speed of around 194 km/ h makes it perfectly suited for long motorway journeys, ideal for vintage rallies or touring events far from home.

Overdrive on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears allows relaxed cruising, improved fuel economy, and a more efficient engine response at high speeds.

The car has just been fitted with four brand-new Michelin XZX Classic tyres, a model specifically designed for vintage vehicles, with a total value exceeding €1, 000. These tyres are produced to original specifications but benefit from modern rubber compounds, making them one of the most respected choices among collectors and vintage car enthusiasts.

Their tread pattern faithfully replicates period designs, yet they offer significantly improved grip, quietness, and mileage compared to original-era tyres. This upgrade is a further testament to the meticulous care and attention to detail invested in this vehicle.
