We are not exaggerating when we say this is a peak, Austin Healy. The 3000 Mk3 BJ8 is the most refined and developed of the “Big Healeys”. The prices of good examples have been rising steadily for years, which is really not surprising. This Austin Healey is the fastest, best driving and has the best seat position of all.

A few years ago this example underwent a full restoration. The high quality of this extremely well carried out work is still very much in evidence. Starting underneath we see a fine example of rust-free chassis. The bodywork is as straight as an arrow with thin and finely aligned panelwork. The lovely two-tone paint finish has been done to perfection. The bodywork and wire wheel chrome finish also looks splendid. The easy to use hood provides a tight fit when up.

The interior trim was replaced using fine blue leather and carpets. Here again, the result shows the quality of the work is second to none. The seat leather is wonderfully supple and the door cards too were fully refurbished. The nicely fitted carpets are in good condition. The instrument display and wooden dashboard are all in great shape. The interior trim has the kind of wear that suits the car.

The whole mechanical side was overhauled. The Austin Healey 3000 not surprisingly has a straight-six 3 litre engine attached to a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The Austin Healey is ultimately equipped to travel over long distances or put it hard to work on mountain roads. From the start of your trip, it is abundantly clear this car has enjoyed the best maintenance. The engine turns over smoothly and the gear change is precise. The Austin Healy 3000 has disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rears. The brakes are responsive and capable of bringing the car to an orderly and timely halt. Matters such as its suspension, pipework and electrics are all in very good order.

In short, this Austin Healey 3000 Mk3 BJ8 not only looks the part it is also a joy to take to the road in.
