Further Information
The Car Barn are very pleased to offer for sale this beautiful Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III. It was imported as a left-hand drive car from Sacramento, California in December 1997 and rebuilt over a period of 25 years, under the supervision of the former treasurer of the Austin-Healey Club mostly the specification of the 1964 RAC Rally cars.
The restoration included a comprehensive engine rebuild by Richard Parker Race Engines Ltd. Specification includes:
- Competition valve gear
- Aluminium cylinder head
- +0.040" Omega pistons
- 300-degree camshaft
- High-capacity oil pump
- Core plug retainers
- Competition distributor
- Aluminium high-capacity sump
- Lightened and balanced flywheel with eight-bolt fixing
- Three rebuilt Weber 45DCE Type 13 carburettors (of original Italian manufacture, not the later Spanish versions)
- Six-branch exhaust with side-exit silencer box
- Upgraded radiator
- Foam-filled aluminium fuel tank
The gearbox was rebuilt by Dave Barker and uses a SC Tulip gear set with a competition overdrive, which was rebuilt by Overdrive Services of Sheffield. The clutch is a heavy-duty unit using a ball-race clutch release bearing. The propshaft is a high-deflection type, while the rear axle was rebuilt and retains the standard final drive ratio.
Brakes are standard discs on the front with a 'High Knee Point' servo with the rears being Girling discs. It is also fitted with separate hydraulic lines for front and rear brakes together with a balance system. The car stands on competition hubs with MWS wheels.
The car has run only some shake-down miles and has recently benefited from being set up by the marque experts Denis Welch Motorsport, who supplied most of the parts for the car. We believe the panels and shrouds are original, with a replica works boot lid fitted in aluminium.
All cars sold at the Car Barn have a 145 point check in our workshops. We welcome any part exchanges and we provide a 6 month warranty on all our cars
