This 1960 1960 Austin Healey 3000 Convertible is a collector's dream!
Though not exactly to the level of Formula One or NASCAR even, the Austin Healey 3000 made its name on the track. In a time when the average car struggled to hold an 80-mph pace, these quick little cars could effortlessly zip up to 116-mph. The 3000 was quickly overshadowed though due to incredibly fierce competition. Still the cars captured the hearts of many enthusiasts, creating an incredible market and circuit for the Austin Healey 3000. Even today, these cars are revered by racers and enthusiasts alike.
Carlisle Auctions is offering this very nice 1960 example. This Red and White Austin Healey 3000 Convertible features a 2,912-cc in-line 6 cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive.

With the black convertible top down, the interior presents well with a black upholstery featuring red piping and a wood-rimmed banjo steering wheel. A detailed restoration binder with receipts accompanies the car.
