Austin Healey 3000 MKIII

The Austin Healey 3000 MK 3, is the last of the 3000 series and a true gatekeeper with speed, British style and a raucous punchy 6-in-line.

The long, curved hood, distinctive grille and bodywork sleeker than a supermodel during a juice fast. give an athletic look to the little muscle car. The open ride is a real plus, allowing drivers to cruise through town and country like royalty with the wind in their hair.

This isn't just any old one... Under the hood of the British lady is a computer-controlled 3.0-liter inline engine that has been tickled to over 180 horsepower, enough to impress your friends at the local high tea gathering. It runs perfectly and can be perfected in every detail.

The recently overhauled engine with 2 SU carburetors and aluminum Denis Welch cylinder head. The carburetors provide the perfect blend of the purest air from Birmingham and a shot of high-octane fuel.

This engine, mated to a Getrag five-speed transmission, shifts more smoothly than butter melting on a scone just out of the oven.

This example has also been royally treated and is in top restored condition. With mega modifications, this one has remained far from normal. A quick rundown:

50 liter gas tank

Aluminum radiator

Xenon lighting and spotlights

Renewed Denis Welch racing exhaust system

Sports air filter

Aluminum rear brake drums
