This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III was purchased by the seller in 1977. It is finished in British Racing Green over Black Ambla vinyl and is powered by a 2.9-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Equipment includes a black convertible top, 15″ knock-off wire wheels, front disc brakes, a top boot, a tonneau cover, fog lights, a Sony cassette stereo. This 3000 Mk III is now offered with a Washington title in the seller’s name.

The car was refinished in British Racing Green around 2000 and features a black convertible top, a top boot, a tonneau cover, a hood scoop, fog lights, a UK-style front license plate, bright trim, and chrome bumpers with overriders. The seller notes rust on the trunk lid, scratches and nicks in the paint, and a blemish from a buffer.

The 15″ knock-off wire wheels were mounted with 165-section Michelin XZX tires in 2025. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums, which feature red-painted calipers and drums. The shocks were replaced under current ownership.

The 2+2 cabin features bucket seats trimmed in Black Ambla vinyl, and interior appointments include a Sony XR-4800 cassette stereo, a cabin heater, a locking glovebox, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, and wood trim. The carpets were replaced under current ownership.

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 72k miles, approximately 25k of which were added under current ownership.

The 2.9-liter inline-six features dual SU HD8 carburetors from the factory for a rating of 150 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque. Modifications include an electronic ignition system, a polished valve cover, a Texas cooler engine fan, a spin-on oil filter adapter, an Intermotor ignition coil, and a custom exhaust system. The radiator has been recored and the generator and gas tank have been replaced.

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