nice car and congrats-- but what is it with those mini lite steering wheels. all the original very bwitish banjo wheels of the mgs, triumphs are on ther shelves, and the Mini-Lite co is wealthy now .

I held my breath throughout the whole video- I thought for sure something bad would happen. The Healeys could have used steel wheels instead of those cool-looking but weak wire wheels and the skinny tires. And if you went off the road a roll bar could be a life-saver. I used to drive my '66 3000 like a maniac- and I'm still here. Luckily.

Driving like that, you going to mash it again..

I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs + injection and tank clean and rustfree

the Healey 3000 must feel great to be back on the road after such a long wait.

gorgeous car! You might want to have a passenger hold the camera next time-video shooting while driving has got to be worse than texting behind the wheel ;-)

....Nice work....from the barn to the street. A friend of mine bought one of these...most of it was in boxes. It took him 3 years and was eventually sold to a museum.

What did it set you back to fix all that damage??

Lovely car, beautifully restored, wonderful to see you have brought it back to life! Very well done...
