1964 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III BJ8 For Sale by Auction

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Open Roads, February event, 19 - 28 February 2021. Estimate:€50, 000 - €70, 000 Restored by marque specialist Kurt Tanner Motorcars of Santa Ana, CaliforniaCalifornia Sage over Magnolia hides; green convertible top with green top bootWire knock-off wheels and spare fitted with Michelin XAS tires2011 and 2012 Bahamas Speed Week Revival participant; ideal for touring or showAccompanied by BMIHT certificate, owner’s manual, and restoration photos Please note this car is titled as HBJ8AL28713 Immediately successful upon its introduction in 1959, the Austin-Healey 3000, which followed the similar 100-6 model, underwent a steady series of upgrades before production ceased in 1967. Mark III BJ8 cars, such as this beautiful 1964 example, are among the most desirable of all the so-called “Big Healeys”: They incorporated all production improvements—including the 150-horsepower engine, center-shift transmission, power brakes, softer trailing-arm rear suspension, a walnut fascia dashboard, fold-down luggage shelf, armrests, arm bars, center console, and a quieter exhaust system—without losing the style and excitement that made the 3000 into an enduring icon of British motoring. Completed on 20 or 21 August 1964 and dispatched to San Francisco, California later that month, this car was originally finished in Dark British Racing Green over a Black interior. Acquired by the consignor, a Swiss enthusiast, in 2006, it was subject to a total restoration by marque specialist Kurt Tanner Motorcars of Santa Ana, California. It now wears an attractive coat of California Sage exterior paint over a Magnolia interior; its green convertible top is complimented by a green top boot. Wire knock-off wheels sit at each corner, along with a spare tucked into the trunk. All are presently wrapped in period-appropriate Michelin XAS tires. While the car remains in excellent cosmetic condition, it has also been enjoyed on the road, including participation in the 2011 and 2012 editions of the Bahama Speed Week Revival. According to the consignor, notable upkeep performed on this Austin Healey under his care includes rebuilt shocks and a major drivetrain alignment, both in 2009, as well as brake and engine service completed by Enrico Gozzi of Davos, Switzerland in July 2018. Meticulously restored by a respected specialist and scrupulously maintained ever since, this appealing 3000 MK III BJ8 represents the most powerful, advanced, and comfortable generation of the celebrated Big Healeys. Accompanied by a British Motor Industries Heritage Trust certificate, an owner’s manual, and restoration photos, it is an ideal companion for show and touring.
