*The Iconic Austin Healey
*
The Austin Healey 3000 was introduced in March 1959 as an evolution of the previous 100/6 model, and its design remained largely the same, featuring a ladder-type chassis and independent front suspension paired with a live rear axle. Improvements included a larger 2,912cc C-Series six-cylinder engine and Girling disc brakes at the front, significantly enhancing performance. Powered by twin SU carburetors, the updated engine produced 124 horsepower, allowing a top speed of 115 mph with the optional hardtop. The Austin Healey 3000 was offered in two configurations: a two-seater (BN7) and a 2+2 (BT7), and quickly became beloved for its robust British sports car character and superb driving dynamics.
