The 3000 Mark III was launched in October 1963, and remained in production until the end of 1967 when production of Austin-Healeys ceased. Over the years, the Austin-Healey progressed from being the sturdy, fun-to-drive two-seater with a folding top and side screens, to a sophisticated touring convertible with wind-up windows. The final iteration was the 3000 Mark III, which added new refinements, including a walnut veneer-trimmed interior, redesigned seats with a rear seat suitable for children, an easy-to-erect top, and an adjustable steering column, yet it gave up nothing in terms of performance. Engine modifications, such as a new camshaft design, stronger valve springs, and two-inch SU HD8 carburetors, delivered an increase of almost 20 brake horsepower, for a total output of some 150 horses. Servo-assisted brakes were now standard equipment. As a result, the 3000 Mark III is the most desired “Big Healey.”

This desirable late production Mark III convertible was given an extensive, concours quality restoration in 2011 and today remains in like new condition throughout having only been driven approximately 60 miles since completion. It is finished in the desirable colors of British Racing Green with a correct black interior and is fitted a radio, luggage rack and chrome wire wheels with knock-off hubs.
