The Austin-Healey 3000 was produced from 1959 and quickly established itself as one of the definitive British sports cars of its era, combining muscular performance with rugged charm and genuine touring ability. The Mk III, introduced in 1963, represented the final and most developed version of the big Healey, offering a more luxurious interior with a walnut dashboard, wind-up windows and increased power from its 2.9-litre six-cylinder engine.
