Austin Healey 3000 1967

Basic Information and History

This beautiful 1967 Austin Healey 3000 represents the final and most refined version of the classic model. The car was imported from the USA to Sweden for a comprehensive full restoration, during which the bodywork, engine, and interior were all meticulously restored to original specification. Since then, the car has only been driven 7,620 km (4,735 miles) and is currently owned by the first registered user in Sweden.

This Phase 2 model is particularly sought after by enthusiasts due to its improved comfort and handling compared to earlier variants. A detailed driving log has been preserved since the restoration, further verifying the car’s low actual mileage.

Equipment and Features

The car is modestly yet tastefully equipped with:

1. Chrome wire wheels
2. Stainless steel exhaust system
3. New soft top including plastic rear window
4. Vredestein Sprint Classic tires with full tread depth

All equipment and interior details remain true to the original specification, and no aftermarket modifications have been made.

Condition

Overall, the condition is excellent, and the car presents as very well cared for. During the full restoration, the body was painted separately both inside and out, including the frame, to achieve the highest possible finish. Doors and panels are original, and their fit is within expected standards considering the car’s construction using separate aluminum and steel sections – typical for this model.

Bodywork:

1. No dents, scratches, or door dings
2. Rust-free
3. Chrome, trim, light lenses, and badges all in like-new condition

Interior:

1. Completely reupholstered in original style
2. No damage or wear to seats, door panels, trim, or dashboard
3. All switches and controls are either new or restored

Mechanics:

1. Engine has only run 7,620 km since the full rebuild
2. Gearbox has been rebuilt and features a fully functioning overdrive
3. Brake system has been refurbished with new components
4. All mechanical and electrical systems work as intended

Glass:

1. Windshield is new and undamaged
2. Original side windows with normal signs of use

Service History

Since the restoration, the car has been serviced annually and maintained with great care. The most recent service was carried out in 2023, and the car has been test-driven and function-checked in 2025.

It is exempt from mandatory inspection and was last approved at inspection on 2019-02-27.

Summary

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire an Austin Healey 3000 in outstanding condition, fully restored and ready for either the collector or the enthusiast looking to enjoy classic British open-top motoring. The combination of the powerful straight-six engine, timeless design, and consistently high restoration quality makes this a standout vehicle.

For the current owner, it has been a dream fulfilled – owning a proper open-top English sports car with a strong engine – a dream partly lived out during summer trips to Dalarna. Now, the opportunity is passed on to the next enthusiast to enjoy this stunning icon of the 1960s.
