1965 Austin Healey 3000 Walnut Convertible

This car is absolutley gorgeous.  It was originally a California Black Plate car and California is where it resided for years prior to coming to the east coast in the early 1990's.  The car currently has 129,000 miles on it and was completely rebuilt at around 123,000 miles.  There is an extensive mechanical service history that comes with this car which documents the thousands of dollars spent to make it the car that it is today. 

The red/cream color combination - offset against the gray spoke wheels (the way they came) with an immaculate walnut dashboard and interior - is stunning. The engine compartment is clean and well maintained and is a prime example of the care that has been lavished on this car.

With its increased ground clearance, more positive rear axle location and enhanced interior, the so called Phase 2 Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII  - introduced in May of 1964 - became the best and most user-friendly of all the 6 cylinder “Big Healeys”.  The Phase 2 completed Austin-Healey’s evolution from the elemental sports car that was the 4 cylinder Bn1 into a luxurious, comfortable convertible suited for high speed, long distance driving in the grand touring manner. This 1965 was built in the middle year of the three year production cycle and is a beautiful example of a restored MkIII.  Finished in Red with Cream side panels and upholstered in Black with a Black top.  As previously noted, the wheels have been maintained in their gray painted form which was standard on the car at the time and has blackwall radial tires.  It has the original AM/FM radio and aftermarket woodrim, three-spoke steering wheel.  It comes completely equipped with matching wire spare wheel and tire, tonneau cover, top boot and wheel hammer.  This is a joy to drive and beautiful to look at.
