1963 Austin-Healey 3000 MkII Sebring: Bred To Race
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2019
- Tony Parkinson has been an Austin-Healey enthusiast for a long time. First contact came in the form of a 100S he spotted as a 10-year-old, and as proof of that moment’s staying power, 43 years later Tony would get the keys to the same car. In addition to fulfilling his childhood street car dream, he also owns the race car featured in today’s film, an ex-works Austin-Healey 3000 MkII Sebring.
One of just three built to contend the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1963, these cars were taken off the assembly line and put through a comprehensive upgrade regiment of non-homologated parts that saw the cars racing in the prototype class. We catch up with Tony and this remarkable piece of Healey history to enjoy the rare treat of taking a proper factory-built race car onto the track.

Always Drive Tastefully®
Had my ‘67 Healey in the family for over 50 years now. Has just turned 90k original miles with same drivetrain. It never fails to bring a smile to my face listening to the unique growl of the dual exhaust shifting through the gears. 😊
They are beautiful. In 1966 a friend’s dad had one. On weekends he would take kids for drives in the neighborhood.
"Dad, you finally got a proper car."
I couldn't agree more with the son's sentiments. Great Britain made so many iconic cars in the 1950's and 60's. Jaguar 120's and e-types. Aston Martin DB4's and DB5's. Not to mention Land Rovers, Bentleys, etc. But Austin Healeys are one of the few marques remaining where a guy could buy a car with all of that classic British styling and aura and not completely break the bank. And they provide the added bonus of allowing (or demanding!) the owner brush up on his wrenching skills if they don't already have them!) Beautiful car. It's really is a combination of all the wonderful things in British motoring.
The Brits had something special going on during this period. The Healeys have risen in value to where they are out of reach for most people. If you are willing to lower your sights a little, there are some good values in classic British sports cars like Triumph, MG, and Lotus. These cars are easier than even to maintain. Parts are fairly easy to find and the web is full of information on how to keep them going.
The Brits took many things for granted during their time in the sun in the Sports Car arena.
They didn't reinvest in themselves and innovate.
They sat back on a popular design and instead of following Porsches lead improving the breed and reinvesting the dollars to improve they sat on their hands.
That is exactly how the JDM blind sided the British Sports Car industry.
When the 240z came out it cut the industry a death blow with it's sword.
Took a lot of British design and improved it.
The 240z was a modern Healey......light weight modern motor ,long legged, roomier, reliable, and could fit the American's the British we're selling to for decades.
@@MindDezign I was just watching a documentary on how the British copied the Japanese production methods in the late 60's/early 70's in the motorcycle industry. You can watch similar videos of British manufacturers but what you don't see is how the Japanese were constantly measuring, testing, honing, measuring again etc. One thing the Brits forgot to copy was quality control.. This is hard for me to admit being a British car and motorcycle fan. Then again, it might explain why my garage is full of cars and motorbikes from Germany.
@@erichakanson7010 let's face it in Germany it is perfection in thier DNA.
Brits have always been " Cleaver" and very thrifty..thrifty is not really thier fault.
R&D in Britian was always past on to the consumer and after so many complaints , that could no longer be ignored they would address the issue.
That's what American's went thru during the envassion of BMC .
Japan gave car magazines a car to road test any complaint went directly to the production line and changed to resolve that issue.
American's noticed it right off.
The Japanese at that time took designs already in the market , evaluated it and improved the design, Saving themselves millions in start up industrial design.
They did do the R&D and provided a better product for less because they didn't use money to come up with the design.
Like the British , thier own natural talents ,would catch up to them.
Meaning they now have to come up with thier own designs which is difficult for them.
It caught up to the British , they could no longer ,parts bin assemble cars.
But even the American's it caught up with them as well...just could not build V8 cars the size of a home with poor fuel economy and ox cart suspensions.
The WORLD has merged and the cultures no longer have distinction.
@I'LL BE BACK ! and over head cam not over head valves.
Independent rear suspension and full synchro gearbox. And roomier with not a lot of real estate used.
All things the HEALEY just remained the same thru it's production.Only Improvement was roll up windows. ( It's only an improvement for the Daily driver...not as a Sports Car.
But the market was changing.
Have had my Healey for 45 years now ........nothing better.Full Stop.
This channel wins today for best upload on RUclips. Love stories like this.
A 3 litre straight six in such a small, light car. I can only imagine how fun that is. This is a beautifully shot story.
First I watch this video on my IPAD than I looked it in 4K on a huge Smart TV . Best ever ! Excellent Job , extremely professional !
Always nice to hear an Aussie accent on Petrolicious...it's a big wide world!!!
Makes me so proud to be British and own a big healey even though it's going to take me a few years to get it on the road but pettolicpious keep me inspired..
Nice gentleman drives beautiful Healey,,.Thanks good video !!!!
there's something about a straight six at full throttle...its symphonic
Mitchell Gildea so true. They’re some of the best sounding engines out there IMO.
I was just going to write the same thing! A Jag, Healey or AC Bristol make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. My very first car was an XK120DHC in 1959 and the exhaust note got into my blood and I never got over it. This Healey really sounds great!
This thing sounds sooooooooo nice! Love+++
Sounds a bit like a 300 SL Gullwing !
Bruce Boschek yes!!! I fell in love with the straight six song with my bmw’s but this is another level.
Great to see Petroliscious doing what it does best. So many now imitate what this channel created.No body does it better.....some do come close.
For 20 years I restored many many big Healeys in the North East.
This man completely matches , his car , his car matches his passion.
I feel the exact natural match with my Modded Datsun Z.
Looking at it just sitting is as much a part of it as driving it.
Also it never blends into traffic.. .....Made for an enthusiast.
They don’t make cars like they used to. The simplicity and timeless design of this car is carried forward by very few cars today. Over abundance of electronic gadgets do not enhance ones driving experience. Than am you for sharing it with us.
Shout out to Adelaide. So many great country drives at full throttle around here, ;)
Me and my dad almost restored one of these together when I was in high school. Love that car!!
Well not the Sebring version. But a MKll
I was going to like this video but saw that I had already watched it and liked it before. It just makes me smile.
Beautiful car, beautiful locations, beautiful music n beautiful people. What a lovely calming video.
The ol Big'Healeys are such underrated classics, I love 'em to bits.
If every car channel make videos like this, it would be heaven. from the story telling, the cinematic shots and well timed music and car sound......
Beautiful car, great story, perfect soundtrack, and stunning cinematography. I wish it would last forever.
Probably one of my new favourite petrolicious videos now
A Healey video is so overdue. Love it.
Great little film about a gorgeous little car.
Love it when he said "It looks like the engine's attached to the carburetors!"
Typical Aussie/British humour, top car bloke 👍
the 50s and 60s gave the world some best looking exterior and interiors of cars , damn these vintages look awesome
…"standing alone in the garage, looking at the car is a spellbinding experience..." This is how I feel about certain cars. I always wonder what it is that does that to me. But looking at a beautiful machine (be it a car, motorcycle, boat, fighter plane , whatever) is spellbinding. Well put sir!
One of the most beutiful cars in the world
I added this video to those I like because the driver has respect for the molybdenum synchro of the gearbox, ratio sebring or tulip maybe, but it does well the double declutching at the fall of the reports of the true Healey box. It's not so often that we see good drivers. I emphasize - thank you - nice video!
ai ajouté cette vidéo à celles que j'aime parce que le conducteur a du respect pour les synchros molybdène de la boite de vitesse , ratio sebring ou tulipe peut-être, mais il fait bien le double débrayage à la retombée des rapports de la vraie boite Healey .Ce n'est pas si souvent qu'on voit de bons conducteurs. je souligne - merci - vidéo sympathique !
Wonderful portrait of a great car and driver.
Petrolicious perfection!
That Healey is beautiful. It has the spirit of adventure. Spellbinding vignette. Well done!
That car sounds AMAZING.
God you hit the nail on the head standing in the garage checking out your baby girl overlooking her.. yeah I know that feeling.
This is such a thing of beauty and has a great story behind it. A pleasure to sneakily watch in my lunch break.
The 3000 has always been one of my favorite cars the cars are just beautiful to behold and listen too.
My first car was a Austin Healey 3000 MK2 .
Taught myself to drive in it.
Also had the pleasure of driving 56FAC , this cars sister car in late 70s
Petrolicious comes out with another masterpiece. The 3000 has such an aura. It isn't an exotic by any means, but it's got an incredible presence. This video captures the essence of this car!
Jay Lenos Garage on RUclips let me down this weekend. With that asphalt machine for building roads. But Petrolicious beautifully came through, as usual . And he spoke English.😁
I hate looking away from those beautiful cars and cinematography to read the bottom of my screen😒. Great job.👍
Yo...even Mr.Leno would get exited for this BEAUT !!!
I came here to recover from a dopey review by a non-British driver who spent the entire video telling viewers that the Austin Healey 3000 Mk III was "difficult to drive, and you'd be knackered afterwards. Thank you for a more knowledgeable drive by a man passionate about this beautiful classic.
Beautiful cars. My uncle had one when i was a child in the 70’s.
Complimenti per i video : trasudano di passione ! Grazie !
This car and this story stirs the soul.
Sweet, Love those old british cars. Cars today have no such charisma. MG, Triumph, Healy. They could make a modern version but people would no understand them. Loved the way the MGB steering felt and how you could whip it arould with confidence.
.
I OWNED A '61 MK II AND DROVE IT DAILY FOR FIVE SUMMERS -- LVD IT. THE '74 DATSUN 240 Z CAME OUT TO GR8 FANFARE -- I COULDNT BELIEVE THAT SOUND AND AMBIENCE WERE DEAD!!
That straight six still sounds absolutely fabulous!
Gorgeous car... Pure britishness
I love watching Petrolicious before work!
I bet the smells from that car are as wonderful as the sounds.
Awesome video of a magnificent car. Great to see Tony on camera both driving and speaking about the "Sebring". Some magnificent footage of South Australia and new "The Bend" race track as well. Top notch!
In America a lot of people bought MG's and Triumphs, but the real head turners were the Austin Healeys. They were the class of the class but to rich for most average folk. Beautiful example you got there
thanks Tony, nice footage of the bend as well.
A proper automobile indeed!
great film, the sound of the exhaust, engine and gear box are amazing, great accent as well.
The Bend track in South Australia looks fantastic. I'm hoping to run in an historic event there in 2020.
I love watching old British sports cars NOT catching fire.
Just what I needed..
The Chopin background is a lovely complement
I grew up around old sports cars. Spent my earliest years in the pits at local SCCA races in central California. My Dad raced a number of cars; a '54 Jaguar (with an Oldsmobile 303 V8 in it), a '56 Porsche 356A Coupe, and a formula junior. I've seen little Lotus "pancake" cars (I don't know what else to call them. They were SO tiny!), "Birdcage" Maseratis, AC Bristols, Porsche 904s. I have NEVER seen an Austin Healey with a hard-top. Always been drop-tops. I have to say that a Coupe version is a sight to see. Very clean lines. Probably the nicest Healey I have ever seen.
I have what you might call "an affinity" towards British sports cars. My dream car is to build a Triumph TR4/TR5/TR250 to my own accord. Drop in an Olds 215 aluminum block/Rover 3,5 liter V8 bolted up to a nice 5-speed manual gearbox, IRS rear-end (maybe out of a Subaru STI, with limited-slip diff) 4-wheel discs, rack and pinion steering, and a killer stereo! Leather upholstery, of course.
My brother has a 1961 tri-carb BT7 Healey with 1/34 SU's, hot cam etc. (it hit 180 hp on the dyno ). It has the hardtop, Minilite wheels and louvered hood and side scallops. He wins a lot of car show awards.
Very Beautiful and yours sounds absolutely Wicked!! I Loved both my 1960 3000 (327 corvette engine) and my 1966 3000 MK III
Definitely beautiful sound and look. Nice video too.
There you go, my old man was president of the Adelaide Austin Healy club for a few years. Nice to see some of the locals represented on petrolicious.
4:57 perfect double clutching and rev matching.
Would have this over a modern exotic any day. I wish classic looking cars were still being produced with new components.
ThriftybyNature well there is still Morgan motor
The color if I recall correctly is midnight blue. It's gorgeous under the sun or the moon. Difficult to read a map in the small cabin at night.
Should try it in a Lancia Stratus.
I have co-driven both on rallies.
Also an MG Midget that had no room at all.
More Healey racers please ... this is a great video. Thank you Petrolicious, well done again.
A great period piece exhibiting elan. Thank you.
Sounds awesome what a beautiful car thanks for the video awesome viewing
that looks and sounds awesome mate! many years away from my 100-6 being back together, very cool, thanks for sharing
That is one sweet looking and sounding ride
What a great video, thanks once again Petrolicious!!
Finally! You guys got to the big Healey!! These really are special cars, too bad this guy runs a muffler on his at the track because nothing sounds like a healthy, uncorked Healey 3.0.
The bubble beauty!!!
The Brits took many things for granted during their time in the sun in the Sports Car arena.
They didn't reinvest in themselves and innovate.
They sat back on a popular design and instead of following Porsches lead improving the breed and reinvesting the dollars to improve they sat on their hands.

Awesome, perfect.
I was named after this car. My grandfather collected them in the United States.
Hi 3000 mkII
Sup, you can call me 3k for short
Keep em coming. Please!
Thanks 😀
I didn't know this model, the frontal 2/3 of the vehicle look like a Shelby Cobra Coupe. Beautiful car and great story afu.
The Shelby Cobra 427 was a 289 on steroids - and that 289 actually was an English sportscar made by AC.
AC, Austin (Healey), Triumph each made "classical English two-seater sportscars" for a long period. Carroll Shelby wanted to race against Ferrari. He first went to GM for engines but got rejected. So a Ford small block V8 went into that AC.
I would indulge in an odd visual inspection if I had that car as well.
Love a Healey
WONDERFUL!!!
Always great work guys
My dream Big Healey!
That's a nice Healey. Real sports cars have side curtains.
There’s a guy by me that’s got a Red ‘ 62 ....nice ......CLASSY.
Triumph at Sebring movie shows her for a few shots down a straight
hahah he said "I do indulge in the 'ol visual inspection!"
She's definitely a keeper!

Pure mechanical sound - zero electronics.
Absolute Alu- Minium thorobred !!!!!!!
Lovely video as per usual, however, as anyone residing in Australia could attest, simply even using the loud pedal seems to envoke auto-alarm responses in the country's police forces. It's a crime that even in country areas and with driving standards being so poor, the authorities are utterly unwilling to increase speed limits. So glad I still have UK citizenship so my thrills come courtesy of European less 'nanny' legislation and the most beautiful roads on the planet.
If you ever get to the Stuart Highway, Northern Territory, you'll be able to use *the loud pedal* all day long, no problem.
Have a 59 Healey 100/6 but with a 3.8 jag engine, similar sound but lighter! Enjoy!
Lovely.
classic weber back pop when you let off on the throttle
Just another car to put on my shopping list. Let's see how many lifes it takes to buy them all:)
Vintage...unsafe - Ness
Very nice.
I thought the Austin-Healey I saw battling an E-Type,in the last video I watched, was way over matched until I saw this video. The Jag was much faster in the various road tests I have read. In fact the 1967 E-Type I drove a number of years ago was in the same class, acceleration wise, as my 1987 5.0 LX Mustang; whereas the road tests have the 3000 trailing my little 2014 Focus. I realize that there is more than straight line performance involved in road racing, but the 3000 Sebring is clearly more potent than the plain vanilla car!
The camera chase car we used for this film was a 2016 Skoda RS turbo and the Sebring kept up with that no problem at all :)
4:01 turn on closed caption and read it when the engine start
Liked it just for the Chopin.
Which sonata is?
This is the shit coming your way!!!
