    Curent color : Sage Green exterior and a Biscuit color interior

    Car was at auction in 2014
    www.rmauctions.com/lots/lot.cfm

    Auction description:
    Arizona 16 - 17 January 2014
    Lot 70
    1965 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III BJ8 Convertible
    To be auctioned on Friday, January 17, 2014
    Sold for $71,500

    Chassis no. H-BJ8-L/27207
    Engine no. 29K-RU-H/1900

    This particular 3000 Mk III BJ8 has received a concours-quality restoration. The car was originally painted red with a black hood and trim, but during its restoration, it was treated to a color combination of a Sage Green exterior and a Biscuit color interior. All work was done by noted British car restoration expert Kurt Tanner, of Claremont, California, whose restorations are known for their attention to detail and authenticity.

    It had undergone a frame-off, rotisserie, nut-and-bolt restoration when it was sold in late 2009, and since that time, it has been driven no more than 100 miles. Factory-installed equipment found on the car includes wire wheels, an overdrive unit, a laminated windscreen, a heater, and an adjustable steering column. The car's build date was from May 14-15, 1964, as confirmed by the BMIHT Certificate, which is included with the car.

    This is a classic British sports car of timeless beauty, and it will give its owner continued pleasure and a solid investment, over time.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    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?
