Classic British motoring meets modern reliability in this restored 1960 Austin-Healey 3000, now offered for sale by one of the nation's largest vintage car collectors. With a fresh restoration, upgraded mechanicals, and timeless styling, this black-on-red roadster is ready for the open road—or the concours lawn.
The car features a professionally rebuilt 2912cc inline-six engine, with just 1,200 miles logged since completion. Power is delivered through a manual transmission equipped with overdrive, offering that classic British touring feel with improved highway usability. The seller notes the transmission has been refreshed, with a new clutch assembly and working overdrive, making this Healey as drivable as it is collectible.
Beyond the drivetrain, the restoration includes a fully updated brake system, a modernized electrical harness, and all-new tires mounted on gleaming stainless steel chrome wire wheels. The glossy black paint is accented with polished trim, while the red leather interior has been fully reupholstered to show-quality standards.
With 48,721 miles showing on the odometer and extensive restoration work completed just two years ago, this car presents as a near turn-key classic. The engine bay and undercarriage are also fully detailed, further highlighting the level of care given throughout the rebuild process.
The 3000 is widely regarded as one of the most desirable of the "Big Healeys" thanks to its robust engine, handsome proportions, and lively handling. This example captures that spirit with authentic styling and thoroughly sorted mechanics—ideal for spirited drives, vintage rallies, or static displays.
Available nationwide and worldwide through Vintage Car Collector, this 1960 Austin-Healey 3000 offers a rare opportunity to own a true British icon in top-tier condition.
