Description

Looking for a convertible? This 1960 Mk1 Austin Healey is a classic British sports car with real character. With its 2.9-litre petrol engine and manual gearbox, it offers that old-school driving feel that enthusiasts crave.

The car has been imported to New Zealand in 1996 and is currently part way into a full restoration - sadly, due to change in circumstances it cannot be complete by the current owner. This classic is fun to work on and represents a rewarding and admirable, not to mention very valuable classic when finished. Most parts are included. some brand new. Replacement parts if required are generally easy to source. This is straight forward design and easy to work on compared to modern cars and very rewarding for the time you put into it. Yes, this one has a hard top included. Very sort after and will not be sold separately. The original colour was black with red interior. First sold in Canada. Comes complete with the right hand drive convert dashboard.

This four-seater drop-top provides enough space to take friends along for the ride. Austin Healey's are known for their unique look and sporty handling that made them popular both on road and track in their day. This is a smart investment.

Features:

  • Classic 2912cc petrol engine
  • Manual 4 speed gearbox with overdrive
  • Four-seater layout
  • Imported from Canada
  • You can't find more classic British sports car styling than this.

If you're looking for a classic car project and have a soft spot for British sports cars, this Austin Healey could be your next rewarding project. Happy to answer any questions about its condition.

Questions & Answers

  • Hi there. What condition is the engine in, has it been reconditioned? Are there any rust areas still to be dealt with or has this all been done. Thanks cx500 (92) • 7:36 am, Sun, 7 Dec Engine will require a full re-build. It has been dismantled for quite some time. it comes with two main blocks. The original and a spare which I believe was from and Austin princess which came with it when I bought it. the body has been stripped back to the chassis and repair work has started. There are brand new floor panels cils and outriggers yet to be fitted. some areas or rust damage do require repair on the inner body. but easily seen and well protected after sand blasting and priming. driverdon (23) • Sunday, 7 December 2025
  • Does it come with Right hand steering box & steering linkages to suit? gemco8 (11) • 9:00 am, Sun, 7 Dec Hi there. No. It only a new right hand drive dash board. (and the original left had one) It currently only has the left hand steering linkages. driverdon (23) • Sunday, 7 December 2025
