compared to Jaguar and Aston Martin, which are still with
us, the venture created by Austin and Donald Healey Motor in
1952 came to a conclusion in 1972. The cutesy <a

a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit
the 3000 Mk III is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts
consider to be the British outfit’s crowning achievement.<br>
<br>
17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ’64 to
’67, and this here is the last one ever made. Chassis
HBJ843025 was manufactured on the 21st of December, 1967,
and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup, this is
one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a <a

of the Big Healey? £75,000 and £90,000 is CCA’s pre-auction
estimate, but only time will tell if bidding will get rowdy.<br>
<br>
Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a
year ago, Healey’s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large
history file, lots of documents, and a heritage certificate.
Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a
high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw
power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the
previous iteration, the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes
as standard.<br>
