context_page_description: The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built from 1959 to 1967. It is the best known of the "big Healey" models. The car's bodywork was made by Jensen Motors and the vehicles were assembled at BMC's MG Works in Abingdon, alongside the corporation's MG models.
  During its production life, the car transitioned from an open sports car, albeit with a child-transporting 2+2 option, to a sports convertible.
  In 1963, 91.5 per cent of all Austin-Healey 3000 cars were exported; mostly to North America.
  The 3-litre 3000 was a highly successful car, which won its class in many European rallies in its heyday and is still raced in classic car competitions by enthusiasts today.
  British Motor Corporation ended manufacture in 1967, intending its place to be filled by a car with a new, though similar, engine in a more recently designed monocoque MGB variant named MGC.
