The Austin-Healey 3000 stands as an icon of the British sports car era, a quintessential "big Healey" that epitomized spirited open-air motoring. Introduced in 1959 as the successor to the 100-6, it quickly became a rally legend, dominating circuits and endurance events with its robust six-cylinder engine and sturdy chassis. The Mark III, introduced in late 1963, represented the pinnacle of the 3000's evolution, often considered the most refined and desirable iteration. Codenamed BJ8, it featured roll-up windows, a redesigned dashboard with a burr walnut veneer, and a more powerful 2.9-liter engine, making it a true grand tourer capable of thrilling performance and comfortable cruising. Production of the Mark III continued until 1967, marking the end of the illustrious Austin-Healey lineage and solidifying its place in automotive history. This stunning 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III BJ8 presents a captivating example of the breed, finished in a vibrant blue exterior complemented by a sleek black interior. Showing 73,546 miles on the odometer, this particular car boasts a rebuilt 2.9-liter inline-six engine with approximately 2,000 miles since completion, ensuring it's ready for the open road. The engine bay retains much of its originality, with the exception of the valve cover, while the windscreen, its chrome mounting, and the dashboard gauges are all presented as original. This handsome convertible, equipped with a precise manual transmission and period-correct fog lights, also includes a collection of tools, extra parts, and manuals, enhancing its appeal to any discerning enthusiast. This is a prime opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained example of Austin-Healey's ultimate roadster.
