The floor and driver's seat have been modified to accommodate a taller driver
The Appeal
Bringing together the industrial might of BMC Austin and the engineering prowess of Donald Healey, the Austin Healey 3000 was a match made in heaven. For those seeking to experience an authentic '60s British sports car, this MK3 example won't disappoint.
There's ample performance from its 3.0-litre straight-six to keep pace with modern traffic, especially with overdrive which comes in handy on long journeys. This example reportedly boasts its original engine and has been diligently maintained, with a well-documented maintenance history. To enhance its usability, the floor and driver's seat have been modified to accommodate drivers over two metres tall, making it a comfortable option for taller individuals.
If you're in the market for a classic car that's an immense pleasure to drive, this Austin-Healey 3000 MK3 is certainly worth your consideration.
