1966 AUSTIN-HEALEY 3000 MK III PHASE 2

Chassis No. HBJ8L32017

Cobra 'guardsman' blue with blue leather interior and blue soft top

This example on sale today was until recently in the collection of country singer Alan Jackson. Mr. Jackson, it is reported, had a considerable collection of quintessential British sports cars so it's no wonder this Healey fit in so well. Having been restored to a near- Healey blue, probably best described as the AC Cobra 'guardsman' blue with blue interior and a blue everflex roof this example leaves nothing out. Fitted with electronic overdrive, chrome wire wheels with two ear knock-off hubs, telescopic steering column with original three-spoke steering wheel, Thor knock-off hammer a battery cut off switch and a tool roll this is certainly a prime example of the 'quintessential British sports car'. This is a stunning example that would benefit any collection.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
