This may be tough for even the hardcore collectors of British Iron here. Anybody has ever find one? Of course there are many 3000 MKI. I had 2 of them decades ago.

I saw this one on eBay (US version): ATLAS/NOREV DIECAST 1/43 1964-1967 AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 MKIII MK3 RED & WHITE
and then saw this one: Edison Giocattoli 1/43 Scale 870121 - 1964 Austin Healey 3000 MkIII Blue/White
Happy hunting!

Last month I bought a red/black one by Norev in 1:43 on ebay and was very pleased with the quality. Good value for money IMO.

Spark S0817 is a 3000 Mk. III in the classic metallic silver-blue over cream combo. Issued in 2012, it may be difficult to find now. I haven't photographed all my Spark models yet, sorry. But here's an earlier 1960 3000 rally car to give you an idea of Spark's quality.

If you like building kits, K & R does a number of big Healeys. All the way up to the last BJ8 with roll up windows. Here is the website:

Many years ago I had K&R build models of the two 1956 Healeys I once owned in 1/1 scale. Both are magnificent and prized in my collection. I also have a BJ8 in Healey Blue by K&R which I bought on Ebay. Love those Healeys even though I no longer fit in them. I like your Norev model Jack. Going to Chicago next week so I have to save my pennies.

@mg-harv I have a Spark 2012 Mini Coupe JCW and I agree the quality is outstanding. As for the Healeys, nice to see that many have been produced.
