This 1964 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III was acquired by the seller in 2020, following several years of disuse, and work performed since has involved rebuilding the carburetors for the 2.9-liter inline-six as well as replacing the fuel pump, red leather upholstery, and the black soft top. Previously refinished in black, the car rides on 15″ knock-off wire wheels and has a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive as well as wood interior trim, a wood shift knob, and a Moto-Lita steering wheel. This 3000 Mk III is now offered with a tonneau cover and a clean Oregon title in the seller’s name.

The car was refinished in black circa 2000 and was fitted with a replacement black soft top and tonneau cover following the seller’s acquisition. Other details include a hood scoop, bright trim, and chrome bumpers with overriders

Knock-off 15″ wire wheels were installed under current ownership and are mounted with Uniroyal tires. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.

The 2+2 cabin features bucket seats that were retrimmed in red leather following the seller’s acquisition, and the cabin is also appointed with a wood dashboard fascia and wood shift knob. Rust in the passenger footwell is reported.

The wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel frames Smiths black-dial instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, a fuel-level gauge, and a combination gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 87k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership.

The 2.9-liter inline-six featured dual SU HD8 carburetors from the factory for a rating of 150 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque. The seller reports that the car remained off the road for approximately seven years prior to their 2018 acquisition, and work in 2021 involved rebuilding the carburetors and replacing the fuel pump.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with Laycock de Normanville electric overdrive.
