Lot # 143 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III Phase 2 Convertible; S/N HBJ8L/38793; Engine # 29K/RU/H13445; Red/Black leather; Estimate $80,000 - $110,000; Unrestored original, 3- condition; Hammered Sold at $65,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $71,500 - Silver wire wheels, Dunlop Road Speed tires. Two owners from new, now with 38,794 miles. Genuine survivor. Crazing and cracked paint throughout, chrome trim scuffed and worn, interior incredibly well preserved and improved with new carpets and a detailed engine compartment. Over forty-five years old but looks like an older restoration. Neat car. No Reserve. This is a solid, fair price for a solid, all original Big Healey in remarkably well preserved condition.
