1961 AUSTIN HEALEY Type: 3000 Serial number: DRF112401 French registration 35 000 / 40 000 € Introduced to the public in 1959, the Austin Healey 3000 is the descendant of a line of English roadsters imagined after the Second World War by Donald Healey with the aim of making affordable, elegant, high-performance convertibles. Initially powered by a four-cylinder engine under the hood of the Austin Healey 100/4, the roadster soon adopted an in-line six-cylinder engine developing almost three liters and 125 hp in its first version, earning it the nickname "Big Healey". Three versions of the Austin Healey 3000 followed until 1968, with the BJ8 offering very decent performance for its time. The model presented here was bought at auction from Osenat 18 years ago. Routine maintenance was carried out at the Garage de l'Orvanne in Ecuelles. The front and rear axles were overhauled in 2011 at Classic Garage in La Norville. They also rebuilt the brakes, radiator and miscellaneous for a total of €25,000, as well as rectifying the crankshaft and changing the bearings for almost €6,000. 1961 AUSTIN HEALEY Type: 3000 Serial number : DRF112401 French registration 35 000 / 40 000 € Introduced to the public in 1959, the Austin Healey 3000 is the descendant of a line of British roadsters designed after the Second World War by Donald Healey with the aim of producing affordable, elegant and high-performance convertibles.
