Description

Full restoration cost of 40,000 Professionally converted to RHD One owner since being in UK Booklet provided showing restoration Rebuilt engine & Mechanics HPI clear Few classics capture the spirit of open-top British motoring quite like the Austin Healey 3000. With its muscular stance, purposeful lines, and that unmistakable growl, this is a car designed to turn heads and stir the soul. This particular example has been lovingly restored to the tune of 40k and it shows in every detail. This particular car began life in North America, as stated by the Heritage Certificate. Around 13 years ago, it was brought back to the UK by its current keeper. On arrival, it was professionally converted to right-hand drive. Recognising the car's significance, the vendor embarked on a full, ground-up restoration, sparing no expense to bring the Healey back to its very best. Over 40,000 was invested in the project, with receipts and a detailed booklet documenting the process. Everything from the engine and drivetrain to the bodywork, interior and trim was rebuilt or renewed, ensuring this is not just a survivor, but a rejuvenated classic.
