Description

  • One Owner Since New
  • Recent No-Expense-Spared Restoration
  • All Numbers Matching
  • Looks and Drives Like new
Presented here is a gorgeous late production Big Healey. It has recently undergone extensive restoration, commissioned by the original owner. Every component on the car has been replaced or reconditioned and it shows. Cosmetically the car is perfect. The brightwork is excellent, with no waves or scratches. All of it fits very nicely and gaps are what they should be. The body is extremely straight as you can see in the photographs. The red paint is the original color and was applied excellently. The chrome wire wheels appear brand new and everything on the exterior works as it should. It is apparent that a lot of care was taken throughout the restoration process including lots of dry fitting and the use of only high quality Healey parts. It also helps that the car was completely original without having been taken apart since new.
Inside the interior is very nice as well. It is sporting all new carpeting, freshly upholstered seats, and all switches and instrumentation is freshly restored. The seats do not have any appreciable wear and the carpets still appear like new. Everything in this interior has been restored to its original factory finishes and to a very high standard. The Smiths gauges mounted in the dash have all been rebuilt and refinished and are absolutely beautiful.A one owner car like this is very desirable for a restorer as they know that it has not been hacked up or modified as the history can all be accounted for. Turn the key and the inline six engine fires up without hesitation. The car runs and drives excellently, with enough miles put on it in order to work out any kinds or quirks. The engine, gearbox, and rear end were all rebuilt during the restoration, as well as restored with original finishes. The engine bay is spotless and has been detailed with factory correct finishes. The undercarriage appears very nice and new with little to no road grime and dirt. It has also been restored to a very high level with nothing untouched or unrestored. It is very rare to see a Healey 3000 restored to this high of a level for sale. This car has not been driven in bad weather since the restoration has taken place.
