This 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III is believed to have undergone a refurbishment circa 2000 and was subsequently issued a Gold certification by the Austin-Healey Concours Registry in 2003. Finished in white and red with a red soft top, the car rides on 15″ knock-off wire wheels and is powered by a 2.9-liter inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a Laycock de Normanville overdrive unit. Inside, 2+2 seating trimmed in red Ambla vinyl is accompanied by a wood-rimmed steering wheel and a heater. The roadster was acquired by the seller in 2024, and a replacement clutch assembly was reportedly installed in 2026. This 3000 Mk III is now offered with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, an Austin-Healey Concours Registry certificate, and a Georgia title in the name of the seller and their spouse that lists the car as a 1967 model.

The car left the factory finished in black and underwent a color change to its current white and red color scheme as part of the aforementioned refurbishment. Further details include a replacement red soft top and top boot as well as a hood scoop and chrome bumpers with overriders.

The 15″ knock-off wire wheels are secured with two-ear knock-offs and mounted with 185/65 Wide Track SR tires. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.

The refreshed 2+2 cabin features bucket seats trimmed in red Ambla vinyl, which extends to the center console and door panels. Further interior appointments include a cabin heater, a locking glovebox, and wood dash trim. The seller notes that one of the door seals requires replacement.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel is mounted to an adjustable column and frames black-dial Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a fuel-level gauge, and a combination gauge displaying oil pressure and water temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 68k miles, approximately 400 of which were added under current ownership. The seller notes that the fuel-level gauge is slow to respond and that the turn signal switch operates intermittently.

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.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission coupled with a Laycock de Normanville electric overdrive unit. The clutch assembly was reportedly replaced in February 2026.

The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate lists production information, colors, and equipment.

Documentation of the car’s 2003 Gold certification from the Austin-Healey Concours Registry is included.
