The Austin-Healey 3000 stands as a quintessential British roadster, embodying the spirit of the 1960s with its handsome lines, robust performance, and motorsport pedigree. Launched in 1959, the "Big Healey" quickly became a dominant force in rallying and endurance racing, cementing its reputation for rugged reliability and thrilling open-air motoring. The MK III, introduced in 1963, represented the ultimate evolution of the 3000, known internally as the BJ8. This final iteration boasted roll-up windows, a more luxurious interior, and a revised camshaft for its 2.9-liter inline-six engine, boosting output to 148 horsepower. The BJ8 is widely considered the most refined and desirable of the 3000 series, with approximately 17,712 examples produced before production ceased in 1967. This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 MK III BJ8, bearing VIN 25145, presents an exceptional opportunity for a dedicated enthusiast. Finished in the iconic British Racing Green over a black interior, this example is remarkably original and has remained untouched by previous restorations. Having been off the road and in storage since 1982, this Healey emerges from an estate, ready for a comprehensive restoration. While the engine and transmission details are unknown, its complete and unmolested state makes it an ideal canvas for a meticulous revival, allowing the next owner to bring this classic back to its former glory. This is a rare chance to acquire a highly original and complete Austin-Healey 3000 MK III, poised for its next chapter.
