I do like fast sports cars. Fun on a friend's ranch in Texas. Summer nights in a pair of big block roadsters.

Very nice! Great sound, great wind in the hair on a summer evening. One of the great Brit sports cars. Looks to be fully correct. 66 or 67?

Bruce; The car is a ,1967 3000 Mk 111, I have owned some form of a sports car since I was 16 years old, I was between cars and my wife became pregnant and I figured we would be spending a little extra time at home so I bought this car in a basket ,took two truck loads and a trailer to drag it in ,stripped down every nut and bolt back in 1990, and started on it , I had a professional do the body and paint work and I did all of the other rebuilding and reassembling,even including the interior reupholstering, took almost five years to complete, when it was finished it was early summer and the Pittsburgh , Vintage Grand Prix was around the corner so my buddies talked me into entering it in the Big Healey division and out of 67 Big Healeys I ended up taking first place, I have to tell you I couldn't believe it !Not bad for an old hill billy and a first time amateur restoration !
