Description
The Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII BJ8 sports convertible was the final variation of a long line of Big Healey sports cars starting with the 100-4 model from 1953. The MKIII was produced from 1964 to 1967 and was arguably the fastest, most comfortable and nicest riding model of all Healeys. This late Grand-Touring Big Healey has completed a no-expense-spared, ground-up, nut and bolt, body-off, 100-point, rotisserie restoration by premier marque specialist, Kurt Tanner Restorations. All work and detailing has been carried out to the highest Austin-Healey Gold Concours standards. Finished in the rare and spectacular factory color scheme of Metallic Golden Beige with red trim, this 3000 MKIII also boasts chrome/stainless 60spoke wire wheels, heater, adjustable steering wheel, 4-speed overdrive transmission, BMIHT Certificate and a photo album documenting the complete, professional rebuild. Upon close inspection, this restoration speaks for itself.
Estimate:$85,000-$115,000
