    This car was the subject of a thorough and exhaustive, ground up, nut and bolt, rotisserie restoration by premier Marque specialist.
    Finished in Healey Blue with Original "Navy" trim. This 100 point restoration is photo documented and the album accompanies the car. The car comes with its British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate and the list of parts used during the restoration.
    The certificate verifies the car to be numbers matching and equipped from new with wire wheels, adjustable steering column, laminated windscreen, roadspeed tyres, overdrive, and a heater.
    All work and detailing has been carried out to the highest Austin Healey Gold Concours Standards. The car runs and performs flawlessly on the road and is a true pleasure to drive.
    The car is equally ready for the show field and the open road, Winning a First Place @ California Healey Week May 2012 and Outstanding In Category @ The Laguna Beach Classic Car Show the previous October. And Best In Show Healey's on the Green 2013
    The car has 365 miles since the restoration and less that 150 miles on a brand new set of Dayton painted wire wheels as original.

    Description:
    1964 Austin Healey 3000 Mk III BJ8
    Vin: HBJ8L26148
    Mileage: 37,474
    Color: Blue
    Interior Color: Blue
    Trans: Manual

    An immaculate 1964 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII BJ8 that has been restored by mark specialist and Healey guru Terry Cowan of Toy Shop Restorations. Terry's been in the restoration business for years and is very well known in the Austin-Healey community for both his knowledge and fantastic restorations. This particular car has had a no-expense-spared restoration to the highest Austin-Healey Gold Concours standard. It has been judged by Austin-Healey experts to be a 100-point restoration, and is in many ways better than the day it left the factory. The car comes with history documenting this very comprehensive restoration, along with a parts list of everything that's been rebuilt and replaced. This fantastic 3000 also comes with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate showing it's a matching-numbers car, and is just as it left the factory. In most experts' opinion, the Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 is the most desirable of the production Healeys, and this particular car optioned in Healey blue with blue upholstery and blue top is in our opinion is the prettiest of color combinations. You could not duplicate this car for anywhere near what we're asking.

    Since i bought the car i have fitted new white wall tyres (5) I have not done much mileage yet but look forward to a decent summer, the car is as clean underneath and i want it to stay that way, I may part exchange it for a 100% 280SL Pagoda yet.

    Mr. Liley, if you want to know some history, you need to contact the BJ8 Registry: sbyers@ec.rr.com

    Please allow me to correct my previous comment:

    ANY BJ8 owner who is interested in the previous history of his/her car should contact the BJ8 Registry.

    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
