Now Available to View at The Forge – 1962 Austin Healey 3000 MKIIA

We’re delighted to announce the arrival of a truly exceptional classic to our showroom – a beautifully restored 1962 Austin Healey 3000 MKIIA, now available to view at The Forge Prees.

This iconic British sports car is a standout example, both in presentation and performance. Originally built for the export market and delivered new to St. Louis, Missouri, in July 1962, this Healey retains its matching numbers and benefits from a professional right-hand-drive conversion. Finished from new in the ever-desirable Healey Blue with matching interior and hood, it has been restored to a remarkable standard between 2020 and 2022 and has seen very little use since.

The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate confirms the car's original specification, and a comprehensive history file, including a full set of invoices and MOT documentation, accompanies the vehicle. Notably, the car has covered just 6,460 miles as of March 2025 and comes with invoices totalling over £15,000, reflecting the extensive restoration and ongoing maintenance.

This MKIIA has benefitted from a full top-end engine rebuild, new carburettors, a stainless-steel exhaust system, and new steering and suspension components including a poly-bush upgrade for improved handling. The interior has been fully re-trimmed, with a new convertible hood fitted, bringing the car back to its former glory. The underside is body-coloured and beautifully finished – a detail often reserved for concours-level restorations.

The result is a Healey that not only looks outstanding but drives every bit as well as it should. The engine pulls strongly with excellent oil pressure, the gearbox and overdrive are smooth and precise, and the steering is direct, making this car a joy on the open road. From its deep, lustrous paintwork to its immaculate brightwork, every detail has been considered and expertly executed.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly sorted Austin Healey 3000 that’s ready to enjoy and equally ready to show.

Viewing is strictly by appointment only, and all inspections are welcomed on-site.
