Model history:

As the successor to the Healey 100, the British Motor Corporation launched the so-called Austin-Healey 3000 in 1959, which provided significantly more comfort with its full-fledged folding hood instead of an emergency hood or with its side windows that can be retracted by hand crank. On request, the English roadster could even be ordered as a 2+2-seater. In total, there were three series of the Austin-Healey 3000. With the Mk3 introduced in 1964, the engine power of the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder increased to 150 hp and the instrument panel and chassis were revised, among other things. In 1967, BMC discontinued production of the Austin-Healey 3000.
