The Austin-Healey 3000 was built from 1959 to 1967 and is the
best known of the 'big' Healey models. The car's bodywork was made
by Jensen Motors and the vehicles were assembled at the BMC
Abingdon works. The 3000 was a successful car which won its class
in many European rallies during its heyday and also ran at Le Mans
during that period. As such. it's still used in competition by
enthusiasts today. The 3000 Mk. III was launched in October 1963
and remained in production until the end of 1967 when production of
Austin-Healeys ceased. Classified as the BJ 8. the new model was the
most powerful and luxurious of the big Healeys with a walnut veneer
dash. wind-up windows and a 150 bhp engine. Improvements to the
engine included a new camshaft. valve springs and twin SU 2" HD 8
carburettors together with a redesigned exhaust system and
servo-assisted brakes.
Manufactured in 1966. this Austin Healey was exported to the US
and has recently been repatriated to the UK. A great deal of work
has been carried out on the car and a substantial amount of
paperwork is supplied with her. The engine ran smoothly and quietly
during our inspection and with good oil pressure. The bodywork is
in good order as is the two-tone paintwork and the interior
trim.
A registration application has been made to the DVLA and the car
does have a full year's Mo T test certificate making this a sound
example of a highly desirable Austin Healey BJ 8.
