Here you get an Austin Healey 3000 MK III with history. The original owner dies and leaves the car to his brother. The current seller of the car was very close friends with the brother, and when the brother, who in 1970 was named ‘Marine of the year’ by the US Marine Corp after returning from the Viet Nam war, was dying of pneumonia, the current seller agreed to buy the car and bring it home to Denmark in 2020 just before the friend’s death.<\/p>\n
The car has not been driven for 6 years before coming to Denmark. It is not known when it last drove before coming to the country. The original owner was an Austin Healey Club enthusiast, and the seller was told that the original owner was the president of the Chicagoland Austin Healey Club.<\/p>\n
This is an unrestored and original copy. The car is now rust-free, a small rust repair has been made on the right side of the floor support. This is not a professional repair, but can easily be done properly – see pictures and video of the underside of the car.<\/p>\n
