SUMMARY

A UK-market 3000 restored and enhanced for maximum driving enjoyment.

DESCRIPTION

  • Rare and desirable right-hand drive BJ8, Phase-2, UK-market car, the final evolution of the 3000
  • Increased power, servo-assisted brakes, improved rear suspension and a more luxurious interior
  • Sourced specifically for an exacting restoration having the right spec and two previous keepers
  • Fully restored at Renaissance Classic Cars by Phil Kennedy, fully documented in six folders
  • DOME Motorsport engine, with a warm cam, mid-range suspension set-up and an anti-roll bar
  • No expense spared to create the 'ultimate Big Healey' for spirited road use and touring
  • In a fabulous colour combination and immaculate condition
  • Just 600 miles since the restoration and on offer from a private collection

The Austin-Healey 3000 is the very epitome of the classic British sports car and one of the few cars that can be said to have attained classic status whilst still in production. Quite an achievement then, but not an altogether unexpected one considering the Austin-Healey heritage coupled with its achievements in motorsport.

The Austin Healey 3000 Mk III was launched in October 1963 and remained in production until the end of 1967 when production of all Austin Healeys ceased. Classified as the BJ8, the new model was the most powerful and luxurious of the big Healeys with a Walnut veneer dash, wind-up windows and a 150bhp engine, propelling the car to 60 mph in under ten seconds and enabling a top speed of just over 120mph. Improvements to the engine included a revised camshaft, valve springs and twin SU HD8 2
