Description

My 1965 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII is looking for a new home. It was a running and driving car given a complete restoration in the mid 90's. Since then it had been driven regularly up through 2017. It still goes and stops just fine but could use some freshening (I drove it back and forth to a local shop in Oct. '18). The car doesn't have a current registration because the emergency brake doesn't hold. I've tried to fix it but reached the limits of my mechanical skills. Unfortunately, I've lost interest as has the rest of my family; so time to part ways with the big Healey.
The car is not concours but is a fine, serviceable daily driver.
