The most powerful and most refined of all the Austin Healey models produced between 1963 and 1967.
With 148 bhp, disc brakes, its new camshaft and braking assist, the MK3 offers unparalleled driving comfort.
It is moreover a 2+2 version that accommodates two rear passengers and offers a proper hood for inclement weather.
This example is beautifully presented.
A complete restoration of the bodywork and paint was carried out in 2018.
The chassis and underbody are in good overall condition.
The chrome work is complete and in excellent condition. The wire wheels as well.
All seals have been replaced.
The hood is new.
Mechanically, it is fitted with the original inline six-cylinder engine, powered by two SU HD8 carburettors.
Regular, meticulous maintenance is carried out at a specialist workshop.
Among the significant works, note the following:
- Complete overhaul in preparation for sale October 2024
- Clutch release bearing, disc and mechanism
- Fuel pump
- Front and rear shock absorbers
- 4 Vredestein Sprint Classic tyres
- Clutch actuator
- Gearbox oil change

The cabin, likely restored in the past, is in good condition. A few age-related wear marks are noticeable but not serious.
The upholstery is slightly patinated. The dashboard is in good order and the instrumentation is functional.
A pretty English-flavoured roadster offering definite driving pleasure compared to other models of the era.
Its sound and mechanical performance contribute a great deal!
One of the rare four-seat roadsters on the market to discover and try without moderation!
