Thanks for adding me to the membership of this forum. I bought my 67 3000 MK3 in Sept of 1971. It sat in my mother's basement for over 30 years until I recently brought it to my house. I now have the engine out and am going through it with the plans of driving the car this summer. My 1964 Healey 3000 MK3 was purchased in 1976 in very poor condition. I was using it as a parts car until I received word that it is the first MK 3 that was finished and ready to sale. It wasn't the first one to begin construction but the first one completed. I plan on restoring this one as soon as I get the 67 running and my 54 Ford station wagon ready to drive. I bought my Bugeye in 1974 to get the hardtop, sold the right hand Bugeye I was driving but kept the hardtop and body of this one. It's in poor condition but I hope to get started on it as soon as possible.
