BRITISH RACING GREEN & CHROME
The lovely coachwork is finished in British Racing Green featuring distinctive rally vents in the front guards, is highlighted by 72 spoke chrome wire wheels and gleaming brightwork, including badge bar with 5" driving lights. The cockpit features quality Black interior trim & carpets, an original Smiths heater, period style wooden Moto-Lita sports steering wheel and a ‘Burl Walnut’ dash. The one touch hood, hood cover and tonneau cover are both in quality Black fabric.

Mechanically the BJ8 is almost standard specification, the 2.9 litre straight six is supported by: a Lucas generator, points ignition and twin 2" SU carburettors true to its original design, providing a true to period driving experience. Engine servicing and reliability is improved with a spin-on oil filter conversion and hi-torque starter motor.

This well presented BJ8 is a reliable, comfortable sports car with long legged touring ability, whilst still delivering great period performance, ideal for an exhilarating run through the hills or maybe just your morning coffee run. An iconic model of the Austin Healey marque that you can really enjoy.
