The Austin Healey 3000 MK III 6-cylinder
Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III — The expression of the great British roadster
With its long bonnet, taut lines and wood-trimmed interior, the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III combines the qualities that have made the reputation of great British sports cars: an elegant silhouette, expressive mechanics and driving that fully engages its driver.
The latest evolution of the «Big Healey» lineage, the Mk III is the most accomplished version of it all..
Its six-cylinder inline engine of 2,912 cm³, developing approximately 150 horsepower, combines deep sound with generous power delivery. Installed at the front and driving the rear wheels, it gives this automobile a distinctive character, where torque and sensations play an essential role.
The Mk III also brings increased refinement, with a wooden dashboard and downward-sloping side windows. However, it retains that direct connection to the mechanics that makes it so appealing: consistent steering, a characteristic driving position, and the pleasure of mastering a true car of character.
The history of the 3000 is also the story of a sports car whose reputation was built through competition, especially in rallying. This heritage accompanies every journey, without diminishing its ability for long drives and open-air travel.
