It is estimated that this Austin Healey 3000 was frame off restored in the late 1990’s. It was then kept as a concours/ show car attending many regional and national show and conclave events up to 2007. The car then appears to have been in storage until 2018 when it came into the ownership of an Atlanta collector. The engine was rebuilt prior to the sale to the current owner. The Colorado Red paintwork is outstanding and matches the color as delivered from the factory. There is an included soft top, but the car is presently fitted with a rare “works” period correct hard top and alloy wheels.

The inside of the boot (trunk) lid is signed by Gerry Coker in 2001 and includes many show/ conclave magnetic badges.

The under body and frame remain in excellent condition, painted in the same Colorado Red.
