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.
Popularly known as The Big Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 is a British roadster that’s got a larger-than-usual engine stuffed under its hood. While British roadsters of the period are known to be diminutive things with dinky four-cylinder engines under the hood, the Austin-Healey 3000, as the name suggests, plunks a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine under its hood. This makes it a rather interesting proposition to drive, particularly in North America where the roads are wider and less curvy overall, than in Britain. So, if you want a British roadster with some brutish power, check out this 68,000-mile 1958 Austin-Healey 3000 that’s for sale right now. The car is reported to be mostly original, making it a great future investment too.
The Austin-Healey 3000 is one of the larger examples of a quintessential '60s British sports car. Made between 1959 and 1967, it came with a larger engine and an overall more spacious interior. Hence, if you’re searching for a British roadster that’s more spacious than the stereotype, pick this 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 from our carefully curated inventory. Bearing a mere 15,000 miles on the odometer, this car has reportedly been fully restored, which is why it looks amazing. And let us tell you a little secret; it reportedly goes as well as it looks!
