My 4 year restoration is a tribute to my beloved father. This was his daily driver when we were growing up. He taught us how to drive stick in it. (I know...WHOO HOO!). This is now my daily driver. I feel fortunate and thankful. Miss you dad.

  • daammn... well done resto. VERY clean.

  • Thank you kindly.

  • there should be double lights in the front on them MK3's

  • daholocaust is mistaken. The "phase one" MK III like mine had a single duel purpose parking/directional light. The phase two, MKIII, starting in 1965 till the end of production in 1967 had separate parking and directional lights. Cheers.

  • Thank you for your compliment... rick5653 is you nickname... lead-foot!..lol

    I didn't know a Healey could go 120 mph!

    Cheers.

  • Nice story. You Brits do things a little differently over there, don't you. Here in the States, we try to avoid hitting the pub and park out side. Thanks for saying hello... mate. Cheers!

  • Oh my god. She's beautiful.

  • Nice I bought one just like it new, it had 9 miles on it and I was told it was driven 100 miles to our dealership from New York -- go figure. I traded a Triumph TR-3 for it and cash. One of the brake pads was installed backwards in the front which gave me grief. Electric overdrive and Lucas "flame thrower fog lights - Loved the car. I had it until it got a small hit and I could never get the paint to match. 1 year and a half mine till I got a 66 Ford LTD !! Sad huh ?

  • What a beauty!!! 8-D

  • That sure looks like a quality restoration.

  • never sell it

  • wow she looks beautiful.. wonderful job restoring it..

  • I registered a youtube account just to tell you how wonderful this is. My father passed away 2 months ago and he owned a car just like this. We worked on it hours together and these cars are very special. The car had to be sold some years ago, but today I own another one of his more recent sport cars. I'll also miss my dad and treasure his car. You did a beautiful thing here. Thanks for sharing it.

  • WOW!!

  • .. sorry about ud dad dude have THE BEST TIME IN THAT CAR take great care of !

  • que coisa mais linda esse carro. tem gente que sabe mesmo aproveitar a vida. belo video
