1964 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III

Work included a repaint in Old English White following body repairs, refinishing the frame, replacement of the 15” knock-off wire wheels, and soft top, and a retrim of the red interior, installation of dual fuel pumps, a Mallory distributor, and a Monza exhaust system, and an overhaul of the dual SU carburetors and four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Powered by a 2.9-liter inline-six, the car also features front disc brakes, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a cabin heater, and a Pioneer CD stereo.

Produced between October 1963 and April 1964, “Phase 1” examples of the Mk III featured combination front turn signals with glass lenses and a lower ride height than later examples. The included BMIHT certificate indicates that this car left the factory between April 6 and May 6, 1964, finished in Ivory White with a Black soft top.

During the aforementioned refurbishment, the body was separated from the frame, the front fenders and the cabin and trunk floor panels were replaced, and rust remediation was carried out on the lower sections of the inner front and rear wings prior to a repaint in Old English White. Various components were re-chromed, and the car was fitted with a replacement black soft top and tonneau cover, while the frame was sandblasted before being primed and painted.

The replacement 15″ knock-off wire wheels are mounted with Vredestein T-Trac tires, and stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.

The 2+2 cabin was reupholstered in red leather and vinyl by Fourintune Garages, who also refinished the wood veneer dashboard and installed front lap belts, a Pioneer CD stereo, and Sony speakers in the front footwells.
