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 BJ8. the new model was the
most powerful and luxurious of the big Healeys with a walnut veneer
dash. wind-up windows and a 150bhp engine. Improvements to the
engine included a revised camshaft. valve springs and twin SU 2"
HD8 carburettors together with a redesigned exhaust system and
servo-assisted brakes.

This is a genuine righthand drive example originally supplied by
Cogger and Hawkins Ltd in Aylesbury after being dispatched from the
factory on 23rd July 1965. Upon our inspection the car
started immediately when requested and APO 373C drove well with no
obvious faults. The blue paintwork shows no obvious signs of
corrosion and the cream leather trim is in good order. Supplied
with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate
valid until 30th December 2016 and fitted with a
desirable overdrive gearbox this Austin Healey 3000 Mk. III is a
perfectly useable example and one that can be enjoyed immediately
taking into account Spring is just around the corner.
