Built during the Spring of 1967, this charming 3000 Mk III BJ8 was configured as a left-hand drive example, and represents the end-of-the-run, final evolution of the Big-Healey. Presented in its original livery of British Racing Green over a black interior, the car has received much restoration and refurbishment work over the years, and presents beautifully on correct chrome wire wheels and classic tires. A recent service has been performed, and the car's history file contains much documentation and maintenance history along with miscellaneous service parts, owner's manuals and the British Motor Industry-issued Heritage Trust Certificate. All in all, here is a wonderful example of the classic Big Healey, ready for spirited drives in the countryside.
