- Desirable version with triple carburetors
- Restored from chassis upwards
- Enviable modifications

The Austin Healey 3000 Mk II was launched in May 1961. The adoption of a new grille with vertical bars distinguished it at first glance, but the main novelty was under the bonnet. An additional carburetor was added to match current homologation rules. The car on offer has benefited from a comprehensive high quality restoration that was carried out over 2015- 2016 at Automobiles Z et P. Restored from the chassis upwards, the car features a very attractive combination of "Golden beige metallic" with "Melon" leather interior. The axles have been restored with the adoption of gas shocks, and disc brakes on all four wheels (only the hand brake system will need to be finished). The mechanicals benefited from some improvements such as an intake kit for the triple Weber carburetors and a sports exhaust. An aluminum louvre bonnet and a Kenlowe fan were added to improve cooling. The hood is in perfect condition, with a tonneau cover and side-screens for the rain. We invite enthusiasts to have a look at the comprehensive list of works carried out, amounting to € 90,000. The car has covered just 550 km since its restauration and a test drive revealed the great driving pleasure.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TECHNICAL INSPECTION PRESENTS DEFECTS.
