1967 Austin-Healey 3000

This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III was reportedly stored from the early 1970s until 2010, when it was recommissioned under prior ownership. Finished in blue over blue upholstery, the car is powered by a 2.9-liter inline-six linked to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Equipment includes a black soft top, 15″ knock-off wire wheels, front disc brakes, dual SU carburetors, a front badge bar, a rear luggage rack, a heater, and a Motorola AM radio. It was acquired by the current owner in 2019 and has since been repainted. This BJ8 is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, notes from prior ownership, a dark blue top boot and tonneau cover, and a clean Virginia title in the owner’s name. The car left the factory finished in Healey Blue and was repainted under current ownership. Exterior details include a black soft top, chrome bumpers with overriders, fender-mounted side mirrors, a front badge bar, and a rear luggage rack. A dark blue top boot and tonneau cover accompany the car. Silver-finished 15″ wire wheels are secured with two-eared knock-offs and are mounted with 165/80 Kumho Power Star 758 tires. A full-size spare is stored in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. The 2+2 cockpit features front bucket seats and a rear contoured bench trimmed in blue upholstery with perforated inserts that extend to the center console and door panels. Wood veneer trim accents the dashboard, and amenities include a heater, front lap belts, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, and a Motorola AM radio. The banjo-style steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 14k miles, approximately 250 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. There are cracks on the steering wheel. The 2.9-liter inline-six was factory rated at 148 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque and features dual SU carburetors with “pancake” air cleaners. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with switch-activated overdrive. The car is fitted with a stainless-steel exhaust system. The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate shows a build date in March 1967 along with factory colors and serial numbers.
