Description

They say classic cars are a great investment and here is an an opportunity to restore an all original- one family owned Austin Healey! Dust is still covering this classic from years of being stored. The chrome is in excellent condition. The leather has cracked but what a great piece to restore. And if you restore it properly, it could be worth in the $100, 00 range! Austin-Healeys handsome new 100/4 entered the market in 1953 with a 2.6 liter four-cylinder engine in a traditional chassis with independent front suspension and a live rear axle. A new grille and a 2.6 liter straight six yielded the 100/6 in 1957, which was in turn replaced by the 3000 of 1959. Big news for the 3000 included front disc brakes and a 124 horsepower 2, 12cc straight-six. Available in two and four-seat versions, almost 14, 00 were sold before it was replaced with the 3000 MkII in 1961. The big difference was a triple-carburetor engine rated at 132 horsepower. Late in 1962, the two-seater was dropped, roll-up windows were introduced and the revised twin carburetors added 2 horsepower. All Healey 3000s are powerful, good looking and very collectible. The two most popular models are the two-seat- three-carb MkII which in top condition has been known to top $100, 00 at auction.

When the car was on the lift a client came in who said the Austin had been his family car I was able to get some more info and photos. The car hasn't been inspected since 1999. Their intent had been to finish fixing it up and give it to a grandchild. The engine runs. There is only surface rust. There is a dent in the frame on the passenger side. Once a bid was placed we were unable to edit the photos. Email for photos of undercarriage. info@bavarianmotorsport.com
