That is an amazing job. The car is stunning. If I owned that car I'd probably live in it. Difficult, sure, uncomfortable yes, but worth it. Thanks for taking the trouble to produce the video.
Thank you for this unusual and detailed view of the process and the car. I owned two 3000s at the same time many years ago. Should never have parted with them!
Great video, I keep coming back to it every few years. Seeing the overdrive switch on the gearstick reminds me of the triumph 2000, which had the switch on the top of the stick. It made it very easy to toggle with your thumb.
Properly prepared , engineered & maintained classic ! Thanks for posting & Good luck CHEERS ! from a former Jensen Intercepter / Jensen -Healy dealer , club racer & collecter from across the pond WELL DONE MATE
I think the Mk 1 is best. The side-screens look good, especially with works hardtop. Just like the E type and XK Jag, MGB, Triumph TR's, the originals were less weight the later models were heavier. The MK1 Healey is underslung, lighter doors, smaller exhaust system, 'flat-screen' looks right and the seating position is excellent.
Love a straight cut gearbox-Used to get a bit tedious in my daily driven 1293 Mini (with Weber 45 also )Used to wonder why nobody would ever come for a drive with me!Lovely car-I wonder why there aren't any books written, from the time, giving details of modifications.Loads on Mini plus Ford Escort(obviously later though)
This particular Works car did not actually have that throaty sound that my ancient 59 Healey had!...then again, my car had over 100hp less than this beast!...My fav year for Healeys was the 1963 model, because it did have-finally-rollup windows, but retained that classic "old" dash layout, that I loved....sigh...time waits for no one,as the Stones did sing!
thank you for sharing, subscribed and liked! I enjoy my little bugeye very much, but am keen to get our healey 100/4 (100/M replica) and 100/6 restored and roadworthy soon
Thank you by your viedo! I have also a Healey 3000 with a enough similar engine and tulip gearbox but with not rally apparence. I have run also the Costa Brava rally last 2 years, but with a more confortable Volvo Amazon. I wil greet you next time.
Great video, very informative. Which cam is it running and given that you recommend the 34mm chokes, could you get away with 40's instead of 45's without losing too much power and torque?
I think the video states that the cam is a 300 degree duration, which is close to the works cam. I think Dennis Welch sell this as a DWR 2 cam. We didn't think about 40s, because all the tuning kits are based upon 45s. The set up is near perfect, almost no flat spot at all. The smaller chokes force the maximum torque lower down, which is what you want when you are using all the rev range. A very underrated road car with this set up. Just needs hard core drivers !
Just a small point of criticism. Your writer...of the written narrative, has made a typical error of the British. I was born and raised in Warwickshire and when i went to school, i was taught to say "would have" not "would of", which is totally incorrect. Please stop spreading bad diction in the English language. Thank you.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party and FFF gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now these green heroes want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions- and smoke crime :-(
@@ianrichardson3228 Biggest problem is China, PRC dictates the end of use of all combustion cars worldwide. Its not about the environment....Chinas boss Darth Xi told most politicians that they wont do any business with underdeveloped countries that still allow CO2 emitting traffic, aircrafts or combustion based industry after 2030...I am sure USA and UK also will be forced by China to 100% electric traffic because today no industrialized country can afford sanctions by China.... China just rules the world...:-(/

Great video.. really interesting. I grew up around 3000s in the 70s. Thank you

Congratulations from Oporto , Portugal ,for the First Class detailed description and great engineering concept !

very nice. I have a 62 3000 makes me want to start dismantling. But too old now! Beautiful job.
I love the sound of straight cut gears.
Really love the attention to detail, all aimed at the Go Fast Ideals. 👍👍🎩🎩
Absolutely great video! Nothing like the sound of a big Healey six.
Nothing like that sucking tooth sound either.

Very cool. Have watched this video a few times. Great inspiration
I was offered one which looked very similar in Cambridge in the early '70s but couldn't buy it at the time. A great shame.
248 hp? Wow... I want to build my engine just like this! Do you have more details about the crankshaft?

Thank you for taking the time, very interesting.
I have one I am selling. Austin Healey Mark III del 1967 all original. How much do you think it is worth? Pearl white. Mint condition.
Thank you by your viedo!
I have also a Healey 3000 with a enough similar engine and tulip gearbox but with not rally apparence. I have run also the Costa Brava rally last 2 years, but with a more confortable Volvo Amazon. I wil greet you next time.
Great Watching Tim 🤗 Dad .

Thanks Timo, great car by the way. I hope you post a few vids of your event progress.
The best security system just turn the fuel pump off in the trunk. See I know I know.
I had the MkII with triple SU carbs. Sold it to pay for college :-(
dirty wheel rims and flaps, nice healey dude

Amazing what is being sharpened behind our backs.
Glad I had my '60 and '67 Big Healeys back in the early '70s
Before Radar Crime!
