SUMMARY
On older restoration, this very well presented, Phase 1 BJ8 in Colorado Red is on offer from long-term ownership.
DESCRIPTION
- The Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III was launched in October 1963 and remained in production until the end of 1967 when production of all Austin-Healeys ceased
- Classified as the BJ8, the new model was the most powerful and luxurious of the big Healeys with a Walnut veneer dash, wind-up windows and a 150bhp engine. Improvements to the engine included a revised camshaft, valve springs, and twin SU HD8 carburettors together with a redesigned exhaust system and servo-assisted brakes
- In May 1964, the Phase II was quietly introduced and featured a redesigned rear chassis improving the big Healey's notorious poor ground clearance
- Consequently, the 1,390 cars built between Oct '63 and May '64 have retrospectively become known as the 'Phase 1'
- This example is finished in Colorado Red over a black leather interior with matching black hood and sits on chrome wire wheels
- In current ownership since 2006, it was subject to a full ground up restoration by Graham Goodall in early 2000s
- Supplied with its BMIT Certificate, original buff log book, and invoices including recent clutch salve and master cylinder replacement in April 2025
- In very good condition all round, this rare Phase 1 would make an ideal introduction into the friendly world of the 'Big Healey'
