The classic Austin-Healey of the 1960’s are considered by many collectors and enthusiasts to be a step-up in terms of British classic sports cars. Beginning as a joint venture between Leonard Lord of the Austin division of MBC and the Healey Motor Company, the 1960’s would be dominated by the release of the Austin-Healey 3000. Replacing the Big Healey 100-4 and 100-6, the 3000 had a commanding presence and a racing pedigree that was hard to beat. Today, potential buyers of all types turn to the Austin-Healey’s from the 1960’s for restoration, racing, everyday driving and more.
