For consignment, a 1967 Austin Healey 3000 MK III roadster showing 46,031 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This is a proper British sports car into which our consignor has poured more than $30,000 worth of improvements, creating a well sorted and beautifully presented Austin Healey.

Exterior

No guessing the color here, it's British Racing Green, of course and it looks right and fitting for this car. An oval grille is augmented by a front facing scoop, sculpted into the hood between the headlights that ride the end of rounded fenders. A curvaceous boot at the other end is flanked by stacked round lights and reflectors on the fine chrome bumper. In profile, it can only be described as sensuous as the long front fenders melt into the shoulder line of the door then rises gently to arch over the rear wheel, finally descending to a rounded tail. Polished trim on the door meets an upright windscreen bookended by side mirrors, all over 15-inch knock off wire wheels. Top up reveals a black canvas cover in nice condition. Some bubbling on the rocker panel is the only imperfection on this tasty roadster.

Interior

Simple black vinyl door panels greet driver and navigator alike, with some slight patina on the driver's map pocket, but otherwise clean and fully intact. Bomber style black vinyl buckets await in handsome stitching and textured backing, robust and lined with white piping and seat pads on the back match the pattern. A wood rimmed sport steering wheel invites the driver to play and it fronts a polished burlwood dash housing the ever important tachometer and speedometer along with a water temperature gauge and oil pressure gauge sharing a circle. The center stack, backed in black plastic, shows a touch of age and houses vent controls, a metal plated switchgear panel, a speaker, and the AM radio. Wood returns on the passenger side and like a fine cabinet, makes up the construction of the glove box door. The center console is another open invitation to the driver, presenting a tall shifter with its ball handle in a silver rimmed plastic base. Black carpet is at our feet and the boot has the protection of a mat while housing a spare wire wheel, tool, jack, and battery.

Drivetrain

An olive green valve cover dominates the clean, drive quality engine bay under the bonnet, a 177.7ci inline six cylinder, rated at 150 horsepower and fueled by 2 HD8 Su carburetors. A 4-speed manual transmission with Laycock-de-Normanville overdrive backs up the power plant and routes power to 3.909 gears in the rear axle. Disc brakes are employed up front and drum brakes are found in the back.

Undercarriage

Driver quality underneath as well with a generous coating of oil on the X-frame and surrounding components. The good news is there's almost no surface rust to speak of. Dual exhaust, much of which is colored by that surface rust, runs in tandem through stock style mufflers and clean resonators before exiting via clean tailpipes. Coil spring suspension is noted up front with leaf springs in the back.
