The "Big Healey" that we are offering is a 1967 2 + 2 Mk III convertible, powered by the six-cylinder three-litre aspirated by two SU HD8 carburettors in its 148bhp version. In an Healey blue and "Old English White" shade, with black hood and centre-mounted spokes, combined with a black leather interior, and Motolita steering wheel, the car looks very elegant. Restored in the past, this BJ8, without being perfect, is in good overall condition. The meter was replaced in 2009, when it showed 49,330 miles, by a meter that now reads 5,765km. The car then belonged to an auctioneer. It is during one of his auctions that the current owner acquired the car in 2016. Recently, he had the fuel pump and silent blocks replaced by the garage "Les Belles d'Antan," which had worked on the car in 2009. The car will be delivered with its tonneau cover and owner's manual. A 3000 MKIII phase two, this BJ8 is one of the most advanced and sought-after Austin Healey. Without reserve, here is a great opportunity at an attractive estimate.

Estimate 40 000 - 60 000 €
