Constant changes
a pattern of incessant evolution characterized the austin-healey design policy. In 1956, the earlier four-cylinder model gave way to the six-cylinder austin a 90. By 1959, a six-cylinder, 2.9-liter engine capable of achieving 124 hp was introduced, and the more powerful healey was rechristened the 3000.
the last waltz
the 3000 was distinguished by the dashing mk ii and the ultimate version, the mk iii, which was introduced in 1963 to the roar of an in-line, three-liter six that could punch that car up to 117 mph if the driver was so inclined. Six years later, however, the austin-healey 3000 showed its age. The u.s. Traffic safety act took the mark
iii off the american road and signed the 3000s death certificate
Fast and powerful, the 1963 austin-healey mk iia joined familiar aspects of the classic english roadster with the oomph of a six-cylinder, three-liter engine. |
