Original Austin-Healey “3000” Mk II Colours paint and trim sample booklet, issued by The Austin Motor Company Limited / Austin Motor Export Corporation Limited.

Publication No. 1531/B – Printed in England.

A scarce piece of original Austin-Healey sales literature containing genuine period colour sample leaves showing the factory finishes available for the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk II, together with the corresponding interior trim and hood combinations.

The booklet includes the single-colour finishes:

Healey Blue – BU 2
Black – BK 1
Florida Green – GN 1
Colorado Red – RD 2
Ivory White – WT 3

It also details the factory Duotone colour combinations, including:

Healey Blue / Ivory White
Black / Colorado Red
Florida Green / Ivory White
Colorado Red / Black
Ivory White / Black

The original colour leaves have a glossy painted/sample finish and remain particularly vibrant.

Size: approx. 105mm x 80mm.

Condition: Mint / exceptionally well preserved for its age. The covers, internal pages and colour samples are extremely clean and the booklet remains firmly bound. There is a small handwritten “1962” notation at the top of the front cover, apparently a period annotation. Please see photographs for the exact condition.

The booklet has been handled carefully for the photographs and has not been forced flat, helping preserve the spine and binding.

An excellent original reference item for an Austin-Healey 3000 Mk II owner or restorer, particularly useful for anyone researching original factory paint, trim and Duotone combinations, as well as being a highly collectable piece of early-1960s British motoring ephemera.
