1966 Austin Healey 3000 mk3 BJ8 in Colorado Red
In present ownership since 2011 during which time it has had dry summer use only a being a regular visitor to Goodwood and The Revival along with other summer outings.
Not a concourse car, as indeed most aren’t, but definitely holds its own with excellent paint and chrome and regular maintenance and a good hood. All working well, last MOT 2022 (obviously no longer required routinely)
Ready to drive and enjoy immediately just as it is and also a solid prospect for further fettling and refinement for someone with more time than I now have.
Any inspection welcome, though please only if seriously interested: I don’t have time to waste: car for sale in order to free up time for other responsibilities.
A sensible near offer will be given proper consideration in order to create time the time and space I need! These cars need to be driven as well as looked at and so it’s time for a new home for this one! Take advantage of the improving weather and get your Healey now for the summer!
