Austin Healey Classic Cars

The original "Big Healey" — a handsome, low-slung roadster that put a small British firm on the map overnight.

Designed by Donald Healey and shown at the 1952 London Motor Show to immediate acclaim, the Austin-Healey 100 paired startlingly clean, low bodywork with dependable Austin mechanicals underneath. The partnership between Healey's small firm and Austin's manufacturing scale let the car reach production almost immediately — and it went on to become one of the defining British sports cars of the 1950s.

The definitive "Big Healey" — a six-cylinder roadster with genuine rally pedigree and the most collected Healey today.

Growing out of the earlier 100-6, the 3000 added displacement, disc brakes, and continuous refinement across three production series, becoming both a strong-selling US-market sports car and a genuinely successful international rally competitor. Its combination of muscular looks, six-cylinder torque, and real competition history make it the most sought-after and most collected Austin-Healey today.
