IN RISALTO: • Austin Healey Mk II 3000 (1963) professionally restored • 6-cylinder 3.0-liter engine with carburetors recently tuned • Gearbox restored with Overdrive and 4th gear functioning perfectly • Interior preserved in original leather with burl wood detailing in excellent condition • Chassis and bodywork solid and free from signs of rust STORIA/PANORAMICA: The Austin Healey 3000, introduced in 1959 and affectionately known as the "Big Healey", represents one of the most fascinating and capable British sports cars of the 1960s, famous for its successes in international rallies. The Mk II series, produced from 1961 to 1963, introduced important technical and stylistic improvements. This 1963 example was professionally restored a few years ago and has since been kept in excellent overall condition. The car presents itself ready to use and offers an engaging driving experience. CARROZZERIA/VERNICIATURA: The body and chassis are in solid condition and free from any rust or prior accident damage. The paint, although applied several years ago during the restoration, remains glossy and bright, showing only light and expected signs of wear. The chrome trim stays bright with mild vintage patina and the rubber seals are in good condition. INTERNI: The cabin preserves the original leather upholstery in good overall condition. There is only a light wear mark on the driver’s seat backrest, consistent with its age and originality of the components. The burl wood trim is polished and defect-free. All on-board instrumentation is functioning. MECCANICA: The 3.0-liter inline-six engine and the mechanical parts are in excellent working order. The carburetors have been recently tuned, enabling immediate starting. The manual gearbox has recently been rebuilt, restoring proper engagement of the fourth gear and the operation of the Overdrive. The braking system functions correctly, no oil leaks under the sump, and the tires are in near-new condition (despite being aged).
