1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III Phase 2 – Old English White, Red Interior, Chrome Wires, Overdrive

This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III (BJ8 Phase 2) is a well-preserved example of the final and most refined version of the “Big Healey” lineup. Finished in Old English White over its original red leatherette interior, the car retains all its factory details and shows only light signs of use, consistent with careful ownership. The car was extensively restored prior to 2000 and has remained with its current owner for over 20 years after being sold by Brooklands Classic Cars in the Netherlands. The odometer shows 9,790 miles, and this Healey has seen regular servicing to remain in excellent mechanical condition.

Power comes from the model’s 2.9-liter inline-six, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Features include chrome wire wheels, Lucas SFT/SLR 576 fog and spot lamps, a badge bar, chrome luggage rack, and red vinyl soft-top, tonneau, and hood cover. The car is offered in turn-key condition, ready to enjoy on vintage rallies or weekend tours.
