Descrizione
This Austin Healey 3000 MkIII is a very late BJ8 Phase II model built on 12th September 1967, making it one of the last 500 cars. Late 1967 MkIII cars are particularly desirable as from July 1967 no further production revisions were made with these cars considered the MkIII at its best.
Finished in the very beautiful and rare Metallic Golden Beige with a black Leather interior with Black piping, a Black hood with matching Black tonneau and hood bag plus chrome wire wheels.
This stunning example was treated to a full ‘nut and bolt’ restoration completed in July 2014 with all components either refurbished or replaced (see photos in gallery) and remains a beautiful original numbers, show quality car. Upgrades at the time of restoration included a hand crafted leather interior with extended leather, a period radio with aux connectivity, a stainless exhaust, front spotlamps, works-style overdrive gearlever, large core radiator plus sound deadening and thermal insulation to both driver and passenger floorpan and bonnet.
Having covered just 3, 800 miles since restoration, the car is exceptional to drive. The performance is just as it should be, the gearbox slick to change with the overdrive engaging promptly and the suspension and steering spot on.
Supplied with original handbook, British Motor Heritage Trust certificate of authenticity, restoration photos and paperwork documentation, servicing and invoice documentation, BMC original Healey marketing ads, black everflex hood bag, black everflex tonneau, black mohair tonneau and basic tools.
