1967 | Austin-Healey 3000 MK III BJ8

Following Austin-Healey’s 100 model roadsters of the 1950s, the marque’s unveiled a new contender for the coming decade in 1959. The 3000, or ‘Big Healey’ as it would come to be known, yielded three variants over its illustrious eight-year production. The definitive high-performance sportscar of its day, all MK I-III 3000’s carried inline-six power, race-proven suspension design, and timeless styling.

The car’s final MK III/BJ8 offering culminated in its highest output then-to-date paired with 2+2 seating. Beginning in 1964, late production examples featured 150hp, improved ground clearance, and a 125mph top speed. Double-wishbone front/semi-elliptical leaf rear suspension lent both to engaging handling and refined road manners. Remembered today as the peak ascension of founder Donald Healey’s British roadster—and his last with the company—the BJ8 carries the spirit of Austin Healey’s storied legacy to the present day.

This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 MK III BJ8 shows the last of the best in 1960s British motoring. Restored by acclaimed Wisconsin-based marque specialist Fourintune, the car presents fully reconditioned in its original Metallic Golden Beige over Black leather, cloth top, and carpets. Complete with De-Luxe wood trim and steering wheel, this example’s interior displays fine period equipment and mod-era materials from Smiths instrumentation to translucent seat piping. Beneath the hood, a 2,912cc mill revs to over 5,250rpm, fed by twin SU HD8 carbs. Power is routed rearward by 4-speed manual shifting w/overdrive, connecting with the road via 15” wire wheels wrapped in Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. Front disc-brakes benefit from drilled rotors. Sold with a clean title, BMIHT Certificate, and period tools/accessories, this sharp MKIII arrives ready for vintage rally.
