The Austin-Healey 3000, the quintessential British big Healey, needs little introduction. Born from the successful 100/6, the 3000 arrived in 1959, quickly becoming a motorsport legend and a darling of the open road. The MKIII, or BJ8, introduced in 1963, represents the pinnacle of the model's development. It boasted a more powerful 2,912cc inline-six engine, producing 150 hp, along with a revised interior featuring a burl wood dash and wind-up windows, transforming it into a more refined grand tourer without sacrificing its raw, sporting character. The BJ8 was the most luxurious and capable of all the Big Healeys, and the final iteration before production ceased in 1967, making these late-model examples particularly sought after. This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII BJ8, bearing VIN 26156, presents a unique opportunity as a highly original, unrestored example. Finished in classic red over a black interior, it has spent the last decade in storage, emerging from an estate in remarkably complete and solid overall condition. While not currently running, the engine is noted to turn freely, suggesting a strong foundation for recommissioning. Its automatic transmission points to a more relaxed cruising experience, a testament to the BJ8's dual nature as both a sports car and a comfortable tourer. This is an exceptional chance to acquire a largely untouched piece of British motoring history, ready for its next chapter.
