Vehicle Description

1962 Saxon by Classic Roadsters – Austin-Healey 3000 Replica

Up for sale is our 1962 Saxon by Classic Roadsters, a hand-built replica of the legendary Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III. This car was originally built in Florida in 1991 using the Classic Roadsters Sebring Kit. It later made its way to Texas, where my father-in-law purchased it at auction. We inherited the car from him in July 2022, and it has been well-preserved and maintained since.

This Saxon represents the perfect blend of vintage British roadster styling with reliable American drivetrain components. It comes with extensive documentation from its original build, including photos, receipts, annotated wiring diagrams, and manuals.
