Austin Healey 100/100-6/3000: Restoration Guide (Authentic Restoration Guide) Book

Although Austin-Healeys were built in Great Britain, they were designed to appeal to Americans-in fact, Austin-Healey exported 89 percent of their cars to the United States. Among these automobiles, the 100 and 3000 Series-or "Big Healeys"-produced from 1953 through 1968 were the fastest and most glamorous. Today, a properly restored model can fetch anywhere from $20,000 to $30,000 at auction, while a healthy aftermarket serves Austin-Healey enthusiasts who can find a ready supply of project cars in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. All the parts and accessories needed to conduct a complete factory-original restoration are outlined in this fully illustrated, hands-on guide for "Big Healey" owners and restorers. Schematics, charts, illustrations, and photographs accompany an authoritative and comprehensible text, guiding readers through the authentic restoration of every part, system, and component. Appendices include a source guide fastener reference.Read More
