Tim and Fuzz are off to County Durham to pick up one of the greatest British post war sports cars ever made - a 1961 Austin Healey 3000. The car is owned by former engineer John and it's been in his family since it was new. John had planned to completely restore the car as a retirement project however when he was struck down with Parkinson's disease his classic car dream faded away. 76 year old John decided to invest his life savings having the car restored, however the project was never finished and when the boys get the car back to the Car SOS workshop they discover that John's pride and joy had become a catalogue of botched work and hidden shortcuts. Produced between 1959 and 1967 the Healey 3000, was a joint venture between car manufacturer Austin and performance car specialists the Donald Healey Motor Company. Equipped with a 3-litre straight six-cylinder engine, with twin SU carburettors it produced 124bhp meaning the car could reach a top speed of 114mph! Incredibly fast for a car of the time.
