Austin Motor
Company discovered the Healey day before the opening of the "Earls
Court Motorshow" in the year 1952 at the show-booth of the Healey
Motor Corporation.
Leonard Lord, Austin Motor Corporation chief contacted Donald Healey
immediately and bought the car's production-rights before the show was
opened...
Donald Healey built the Healey with Austin parts which was ideal for the
step Austin took. Austin Motor Co. saw the Healey as the perfect answer
on Triumphs successful TR sportscar which sold very well in the United
States.
The Austin
Healey 3000, also known as the "Big Healey", was produced
between 1959 and 1968. The Healey 3000 was the follow-up to the
successful 100/4 and 100/6 Healeys. The 3000 was the first Healey fitted
with power-assisted brakes and disc brakes on the front wheels. The 3000
was to be the last "big" Austin Healey
