The MKIII is generally considered to be the finest Healey variant of them all. This Big Healey was restored to a fastidious level with prime intent of being concours winner and true to plan,the car garnished much success over the nine years. Attention to detail is astounding. The spotless exterior is finished in red, whilst the interior and hood color appear to be stone (despite their gray designation per Healey specification), rarely so, this car features the leather upgrade kit (which was a factor option) in preference to the standard vinyl, and the red wool carpets complete the stylish effect. From 1997 to 2004, the car has competed concours level numerous times and notable first including the 1197 AACA National Fall Meet Senior Award, the 1998 Stowe British Invasion concours division, 1998 Austin_Healey Sport & Touring Club, 1999 Amelia Island Concours d"Elegance, 2002 Radnor Hunt Concours d"Elegance, 2004 Greenwich Concours d"Elegance.
