The last of the big Healeys
Previously restored by marque specialist Kurt Tanner
Elegant colors and desirable options
The 3000 Mk III BJ8 offered here represents the last, and what many believe to be the 3000's finest, model year. It has been extensively restored in the capable hands of Austin-Healey specialist Kurt Tanner, and it is finished in Golden Beige Metallic, with correct original-specification red Ambla leatherette upholstery and red carpeting. The walnut dashboard is beautifully lacquered. Overseeing all is a correct Everflex top, which has been installed over a powder-coated frame. Even the interior of the trunk has been well-finished, and all of the chrome is either new or replated original components.
Underneath, the 2.9-liter six runs well, and it is coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox and overdrive that can be engaged by a switch. The engine bay is immaculate and shows off the Big Six and twin SU carburetors in style. All mechanical systems of the car have been returned to their original factory condition and have received new wiring. New chrome wire wheels are mounted by knock-offs on low-mileage hubs.
