This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III was acquired by the current owner in 2024 and underwent over $12k of work in 2026 including installation of a replacement water pump, a clutch assembly change, a brake overhaul, and a tune-up. Finished in red with a black folding soft top over black vinyl, the car is powered by a 2.9-liter inline-six fitted with dual SU HD8 carburetors and linked with a four-speed manual transmission and an electric overdrive unit. It rides on 15″ knock-off wire wheels and is further equipped with front disc brakes, an AM/FM cassette stereo, and 2+2 seating. This 3000 Mk III is now offered at no reserve by Sierra Classic Sportscar—a BaT Local Partner—with a record of the recent work and a clean California title in the owner’s name.

The car is finished in red and wears a folding black canvas soft top. Further equipment includes a hood scoop, a fender-mounted mirror, and chrome bumpers with overriders.

The 15″ wire wheels are secured by two-ear knock-offs and mounted with 165-width Michelin XZX tires, while braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. Brake work in 2026 involved replacing the master cylinder, servo, front calipers, pads, and hoses as well as machining the front rotors.

The 2+2 cabin features bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl, and the dash is accented with wood trim. Further interior appointments include an AM/FM cassette stereo, a heater, and a locking glovebox.

The banjo-style steering wheel frames Smiths black-dial instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and fuel-level gauge along with a combination gauge displaying oil pressure and water temperature. The tachometer and fuel-level gauge are inoperative. The five-digit odometer shows 48k miles, and the seller states that true mileage is unknown.

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. Work in 2026 involved replacing the water pump, thermostat, distributor cap, distributor rotor, and ignition wires as well as performing a tune-up.

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 and hydraulic cylinders were replaced and the wiring for the overdrive unit was repaired in 2026.

Chassis number HBJ8L36566 appears on a tag affixed to the firewall. The sequence is listed as the VIN on the California title prepended by “67.”
