Description

The Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII really needs no introduction but here’s a brief reminder. The 3000’s were built from 1959 until 1967 and were best known of the "big Healey" models. During its production life, the car changed from an open sports car to a sports convertible. The 3000 sports convertible Mark III was announced in February 1964 with power increased from 136 bhp to 150 bhp by a new higher lift camshaft. SU HD8 carburettors replaced HS6 units increasing the choke size from 1.75 to 2 inches, increasing by 30.6%. Power-assisted braking became standard instead of optional. The car's fascia now displayed its speedometer and tachometer directly in front of the driver. The upholstery was updated too. In May 1964 the Phase II version of the Mark III was released, which gained ground clearance through a modified rear chassis. In March 1965 the car received separate indicator lights. The Mark III BJ8 remained in production until the end of 1967 when manufacture of the Austin-Healey 3000 came to an end., Beaulieu Garage is pleased to present this stunning 1967 Austin Healey 3000 MkIII BJ8 for sale.
