CHASSIS H-BJ8-L/37209
JUST 8,500 MILES SINCE TOTAL RESTORATION BY MARQUE SPECIALISTS
GOLDEN BEIGE METALLIC OVER OLD ENGLISH WHITE, RED LEATHER INTERIOR
FIA PAPERS FOR HISTORIC RALLY REGULARITY EVENTS
With nearly £40,000 spent in 2014 after its initial total restoration, this is no ordinary Austin Healey. Built to classic rally specification, it would be a perfect car to enjoy regularity rallying events. The Healey’s fantastic rallying pedigree cemented its reputation for durability and toughness, recalling the likes of Pat Moss, Ann Wisdom, Timo Makinen and Paddy Hopkirk to name but a few.
Originally manufactured in Abingdon, Berkshire in July 1966, this is one of the last of a long line of illustrious “big” Austin Healeys that helped form the backbone of the hairy-chested English sports car legend. Car collectors today love the Mark III’s extra power, wooden dashboard, proper convertible hood and extra rear seats. The overdrive clicks in to shave off 1000 revs, to make spirited road driving relaxing.
