The ‘Big Healey’ as it’s known, the Austin-Healey 3000 is the largest of the diminutive sports car line-up from British manufacturer Austin-Healey. A name no longer seen, as is the fate of many small British sports car makers, the 3000 packed, as you may guess, a nearly 3.0-liter engine, and the quintessential open-top motoring experience. This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk-III comes to you with authenticity documentation, and just 68,490 miles on it.
The tag ‘Big Healey’ is highly relative, as at just 157 inches in length, this 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk-III is shorter than many compact cars of nowadays. That, plus a kerb weight of just 2,550lb when new means that it’s quite a sprightly thing to drive around, especially with the eye-catching Red Metallic paintjob, wire wheels. When the weather is nice, you may leave this component at home, but don’t despair if you get caught in a sudden shower, or the sun proves too strong. The black convertible top is in great condition and will keep you happy all the way home. All badging and chromework is in place, and overall, we can say that this 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk-III looks well-maintained. The black interior with leather seating for up to four occupants also looks in great nick. We say four, but the reality is, the rear seats can be a bit constrictive, and thus best for smaller adults, or children. A woodgrain dash plays host to handsome gauges from Smiths, a renowned name in the classic and vintage car scene. There’s also a ventilation system with heater, and British Motor Corporation-branded push-button radio, although we doubt you’ll catch much airwaves these days, as it’s an AM radio. Nevertheless, it makes for a nice aesthetic touch.
The ‘Big Healey’ would see a suitably ‘big’ engine, and this 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk-III bears a 2,912cc Austin in-line six with twin SU HD8 carburetors, 9:1 compression ratio, and other improvements over previous model years, helping it make a nice 150hp that’s sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. No doubt you’ll have fun with the power on tap, aided by the svelte 2,550lb kerbweight. When it’s time to stop, front disc and rear drum brakes are more than up to the task.

Produced between 1959 and 1967, the Austin-Healey 3000, popularly called the Big Healey, is a British roadster that featured an uncharacteristically large engine. While your typical British roadster at the time packed a diminutive four-cylinder engine of 1.5-liters or less, the Big Healey stuffed a potent 2.9-liter six-cylinder under the hood. This made it quite thrilling to drive, and quite a few made it to the United States too. However, the numbers are still quite low, so finding one may not be as easy as you think. That’s why we’ve got a 1990 Austin-Healey 3000 Sebring Replica for sale today, from Williston, Vermont. Built upon a Mustang chassis, this car has got less than 20,000 miles on it and is a great way to experience British open-top roadster motoring with some modern convenience features.
With its famously friendly face that is most likened to an inquisitive frog (hence the nickname Frogeye), the Austin-Healey Sprite is a lovable British roadster that was made between 1958 and 1971. With its small road footprint and frugal four-cylinder engine, it redefined what driving fun could be. Despite being the polar opposite of what most Americans considered to constitute a fun or sporty car, some examples did make it here. Case in point, this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite for sale in Pennsylvania. With a smidge over 53,000 miles on the clock, this spunky little car is the perfect way to treat yourself to something fun to drive, as well as a definitive appreciating asset!

Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
