• Built to 'works' specification by Northern Healey Centre
• Highly developed over the years
• Present ownership since 1994
• Many-time international historic rally competitor
This left-hand drive Austin-Healey 3000 was exported new to Florida, USA in 1960 and brought back to the UK in 1993. Acquired by the present owner in 1994, the car was then treated to an extensive restoration to 'works' rally specification by marque specialists Northern Healey Centre, who have continued to maintain and develop the car throughout its rallying career. 'SFF 176' has been a regular competitor on Le Jog (seven occasions) and the Monte Carlo Challenge (six occasions), as well as a host of high-profile rallies the length and breadth of Europe and beyond including the Tour de France Classic and Liège-Rome-Liège (full list available).
The engine incorporates a balanced crankshaft and forged pistons, and breathes via triple SU carburettors, while the gearbox is of the 'Tulip' type with remotely switched overdrive. Other notable specification highlights of this highly developed rallying Healey include the following:
Long-range fuel tank
Alternator electrics
Kenlowe electric cooling fan
Twin batteries with isolators
Dual electrical charging system
Dual brake servos
Twin fuel pumps
Dual coils
Oversize oil pressure warning light
Roll cage
Intercom
Map reading light
Aeronautical compass
Cibié Oscar spotlights
Air horn
Lucas reversing light
Tow loops (front and rear)
Period bucket seats
Five-point safety harnesses
Little used in recent years, and offered with a V5C Registration Certificate, this highly developed and potentially most competitive 'Big Healey' rally car wants only for an enthusiastic new owner to continue its illustrious historic competition career.
