This 1965 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII BJ8 convertible was the subject of a full ground up restoration a number of years ago. The car is in excellent condition inside and out. It is finished in red with black sides and black interior. It comes with a full photo journal documenting the restoration at all stages. It was a really solid, nice original car prior to the restoration. Upon completion the owner just used the car for the occasional weekend drive and a few local and regional shows. It has been in storage for a few years and was just brought out to sell. It looks and drives great. It features the overdrive transmission and even has its original radio.

This 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III is finished in red and black with a folding soft top over black vinyl and is powered by a 2.9-liter inline-six fitted with dual SU HD8 carburetors. Shifting is through a four-speed manual transmission linked with a Laycock de Normanville overdrive unit, and further equipment includes 15″ knock-off wire wheels, front disc brakes, and 2+2 seating. The car was acquired by the seller in 2023, and subsequent work is noted to have involved replacing the exhaust system, fuel pump, spark plugs, and ignition wires. This 3000 Mk III is now offered with a clean Georgia title in the seller’s name.

The body is finished in red and black and is believed to have been repainted at some point under previous ownership. The car wears a folding black soft top with a matching top boot and has a hood scoop, fender-mounted mirrors, and chrome bumpers with overriders. The seller notes bubbles in the paint on the nose of the car.

The 15″ knock-off wire wheels are mounted with 165-width Vredestein tires. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.

The 2+2 cabin features bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl, which extends to the dash topper, center console, and door panels. Further interior appointments include a locking glovebox, a dash-mounted mirror, and woodgrain trim.

The banjo-style steering wheel frames Smiths black-dial instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a fuel-level gauge, and a combination gauge displaying oil pressure and water temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 25k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership.

The 2.9-liter inline-six featured dual SU HD8 carburetors from the factory for a rating of 150 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque. The seller reports that the exhaust system, fuel pump, spark plugs, and ignition wires were changed under current ownership, and an oil change was last performed two years ago.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with Laycock de Normanville electric overdrive.
