The major benefit of this particular Austin-Healey is its sunny climate history. As an ex-Californian and Australian car you can be rest assured it’s never so much as seen a grain salt touch its tyre treads.

It has a lovely and comprehensive history file running all the way back to when it was new, and has only had a few subsequent owners since its first back in ‘67.

It is indeed a left-hooker, but on UK roads that’s no biggie – you’ll barely notice after a few top down blasts. The interior is nice and original, and the exterior – while the paintwork could be improved – benefits from smart panel fit.

Mark hasn’t used it much in the last couple of years, but that hasn’t stopped him fettling. The process of updating the mechanicals and wind/weather proofing has continued unabated.

We think this very nice example of a ‘Big’ Healey will sell for between £27k and £35k, with a reserve set even lower - which will give the next owner a ruff’n’tumble Sixties convertible bruiser that drives really well, and a lovely solid basis to continue improving as, and if, they wish.

BORING, but IMPORTANT: Please note that whilst we at The Market always aim to offer the most descriptive and transparent auction listings available, we cannot claim they are perfect analyses of any of the vehicles for sale. We offer far greater opportunity for bidders to view, or arrange inspections for each vehicle thoroughly prior to bidding than traditional auctions, and we never stop encouraging bidders to take advantage of this. We do take a good look at the vehicles delivered to our premises for sale, but this only results in our unbiased personal observations, not those of a qualified inspector or other professional, or the result of a long test drive.

Additionally, please note that most of the videos on our site have been recorded using simple cameras which often result in 'average' sound quality; in particular, engines and exhausts notes can sound a little different to how they are in reality.
