The Austin Healey 3000 is a car that was made from 1959 to 1967 and is essentially a British Sports Car. Jensen Motors did the bodywork for the car and the BMC Abingdon works assembled the car. Many people used the car in rallies in those times and won the races and the car was truly a masterpiece and this is why it is still used by many people today. The car had a 2912 cc engine with front disc brakes and twin SU carburetors. There were options available of an overdrive gearbox, wire wheels, a heater, a laminated windscreen, a detachable hard top, adjusting steering column, and a two tone paint.

The first model of the car was launched in 1959 and then later subsequent models were also launched with modifications. The first model was known as MK I and then the others were called MK II and MK III. The second model was introduced in 1961 and this also came in a two and a four seat version. The MK III was launched later in October 1963 and was produced till 1967. This was the year when the production of Austin Healey was stopped. The MK III was the most luxurious and most powerful of the cars. It had a wind up window, walnut veneer dash, and an 112KW engine. There were improvements made to the engine also. All models of the car had improvements which were better than the earlier models and which added to the pleasure of driving the car. The cars were very popular with the masses and specially the race enthusiasts and this is the reason they are still being used in rallies.
