************************************
This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III was acquired by its current owner in
1988 from a Healey collector and benefits from a restoration completed in the
1999. Work included a bare metal repaint, mechanical system overhauls,
as well as renewed interior and exterior components. Power comes from a
2.9-liter inline-six paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox with a Laycock overdrive.
The car is described as largely original with the exception of a negative ground
electrical conversion. A 2016 service included tuning the SU carburetors,
overhauling the braking system, as well as replacing wheel bearings and rear
end seals. This BJ8 is now offered on consignment by the selling dealer with
various records and photos of the restoration, invoices for general maintenance,
and a clean North Carolina title.
Prior to being repainted in white during the restoration work, the car was
reportedly stripped to bare metal. Exterior trim was refurbished and areas of rust
are said to have been repaired on the front and rear floors, trunk, front-right
outrigger, outer and inner rocker panels, and door posts.
The 15″ wire wheels are secured with knock-off spinners and wear 205/50-15
Falken radial tires installed this year according to the seller. A 2016 service
included rebuilding the rear brakes and replacing the wheel bearings.
The blue interior has been refurbished and includes the factory banjo-style
steering wheel, a Healey-branded wood shift knob, and wood dash veneers. Per
the seller, the tachometer is currently inoperable due to the negative ground
electrical conversion. Smiths gauges include an odometer currently showing
66,882 miles, about 1,000 of which have been added by the owner since 1988.
The 2.9-liter inline-six is paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox and Laycock de
Normanville electrically-actuated overdrive. A 2016 service conducted by Flying
Circus English Cars in Durham, North Carolina included inspecting mechanical
components, as well as tuning the SU carburetors. Per the seller, results of a
recent compression test produced numbers between 180-190 psi on all cylinders
and a leak-down revealed percentages between 3-5%.
The underside is documented in gallery photographs, and some surface
corrosion is noted by the seller. The rear end was serviced and resealed during
a 2016 service. Numerous documents detail the restoration and include itemizing
parts receipts, as well as labor breakdowns for mechanical work. A video showing
a brief walk-around and the footage of the car driving can be seen below.
