Seller's comments about 1959' Austin-Healey 3000
Original UK car with period correct upgrades. Built in December 1959. Heritage certificate. Matching numbers. I have owned the car since 2006, the previous owner had the car since 1995. All owners researched and documented back to 1981.
The car has sensible upgrades to be a fun and good driving car.
Upgraded suspension with telescopic shocks and thicker anti-roll bar.
Engine overhauled and upgraded to fast-road spec with ported aluminum head, Dennis Welch 278 degree cam, balanced crankshaft, 2 x 2in SU carburetors, fast road intake and exhaust, Cosworth pistons ++. The engine pulls strong and smooth from 1000 rpm to 5500 rpm. Estimated power 170-180 BHP.
The car was extensively restored in 2006-07 where all rust and bad repairs were sorted. The body is still in very good condition, but not perfect. No rust. Bumpers are now removed but still kept and in good condition.
All original parts such as 1. 75in SU's, head and so on included in sale.
All receipts from restoration and maintenance kept in binders. Photographic record of restoration.
The car is located in Stavanger, Norway. Can be imported to UK without VAT. Transport cost estimated by UK transport company to £1895. I still have all documents from export in 1986.
Limited demand for RHD cars in Norway, so hoping to sell at a good price to UK customer.
