1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III

This classic British sports car is a 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III, one of the last and most desirable variants produced in an unbroken line that spanned nearly two decades. Manufactured toward the end of this era in 1967, it's finished in a sophisticated dark green hue with a black interior, offering a charming contrast against its period-correct wire wheels. Known as "Big Healey," this car boasts impressive performance credentials, powered by a robust inline-six engine delivering around 150 horsepower, mated to a four-speed manual gearbox ensuring smooth and engaging drives. This particular model is also distinct for its increased comfort features like wind-up windows and improved seals, making it an excellent choice for long-distance touring while retaining the classic sports car vibe. Originally distributed in Portland, Oregon, this example has been well-maintained and underwent a comprehensive refurbishment between 2005 and 2011 before changing hands at Bring A Trailer's auction in March 2020. Now residing in Florida, United States, this vintage vehicle is not just about its captivating aesthetics but also its rich history and driving pleasure.
