Popularly known as The Big Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 is a British roadster that’s got a larger-than-usual engine stuffed under its hood. While British roadsters of the period are known to be diminutive things with dinky four-cylinder engines under the hood, the Austin-Healey 3000, as the name suggests, plunks a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine under its hood. This makes it a rather interesting proposition to drive, particularly in North America where the roads are wider and less curvy overall, than in Britain. So, if you want a British roadster with some brutish power, check out this 68,000-mile 1958 Austin-Healey 3000 that’s for sale right now. The car is reported to be mostly original, making it a great future investment too.
Wearing a shade of green that suspiciously looks like the iconic British Racing Green, this 1958 Austin-Healey 3000 is every bit a British roadster waiting to go for a drive. The car is 157 inches in length, less than a modern subcompact crossover. Yet, it’s got a sizable engine under the hood, as we’ll discover shortly. The car rolls on wire wheels with reportedly new tires, and comes with a black convertible top as well. The top is there to keep you dry in case you encounter a sudden rain shower during a spirited drive. Spirited drives will be the order of the day in this 1958 Austin-Healey 3000 every time you enter its tan two-seat passenger cabin and sit in the driving seat. This is a true British roadster, with low-back leather seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a manual gear shifter, and a bevy of gauges. You won’t find any digital distractions or unnecessary features here; everything focuses on the pure act of driving in an analog manner. If you want music, you’d better have a Bluetooth speaker on hand. You’d also better ensure that it’s charged because you won’t find a USB or even 12-volt power socket in the cabin. However, this car does have a heater and ventilation fan for some comfort.
Under the hood of this 1958 Austin-Healey 3000 lies a 3.0-liter carbureted in-line six-cylinder engine. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed synchronized manual transmission and a solid rear axle. The transmission also features an overdrive unit, which is helpful for maximum fuel economy when cruising on the highway. Front disc and rear drum brakes are on hand as well, and provide ample stopping power.
