The Austin Healey 3000 MK I arrived in 1959 and replaced the Austin Healey 100-6 in the lineup.

The body remains identical but the 2.6 L 6-cylinder engine is replaced by a 2912 cc engine with 2 SU carburettors and disc brakes at the front. It will only be called MKI when the MK II goes into production.
