AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 BJ8 MKIII phase 2
1965
4-speed gearbox + overdrive
The most powerful and most developed of all the Austin Healey models produced between 1963 and 1967.
With 148 hp, disc brakes, its new camshaft and braking assist, the MK3 offers unparalleled driving comfort.
It is furthermore a 2+2 version that can accommodate two rear passengers and provides a proper hood in case of inclement weather.
This example is presented to a very high standard.
A full restoration of the bodywork and paint was undertaken in 2018.
The chassis and sills are in good condition.
The chrome is complete and in excellent condition. The wire wheels as well.
All seals have been replaced.
The soft top is new.
Mechanically, it is equipped with the original 6-cylinder in-line engine, fed by two SU HD8 carburettors.
Regular maintenance is carried out in a specialist workshop.
Among the major works noted are:
- Complete overhaul prior to sale in October 2024

It has a new alternator, an additional engine cooling fan and electronic ignition.
The interior, which was probably restored in the past, is in good condition. Some wear defects related to age are evident but not serious.
The upholstery is slightly patinated. The dashboard is in good condition and the instrumentation is functional.
A pretty English-style cabriolet offering a definite driving pleasure compared with other models from the same era.
Its sound and mechanical performance contribute a great deal!
