This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III is powered by a 2.9-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in Colorado Red over black vinyl and equipped with a black soft top, 15″ knock-off wire wheels, front disc brakes, a top boot, a tonneau cover, a hood scoop, a cabin heater, and front bucket seats. This 3000 Mk III was acquired by the selling dealer in 2024 and is now offered at no reserve with service records and a clean North Carolina title.

The car is finished in Colorado Red (RD2) and features a black soft top, a top boot, a hood scoop, bright trim, and chrome bumpers with overriders.

The 15″ knock-off wire wheels are mounted with 165-series Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.

The four-place cabin features bucket seats trimmed in Black Ambla vinyl, and interior appointments include a cabin heater, a center console, a locking glovebox, and wood trim.

The banjo-style steering wheel frames Smiths black-dial 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 71k miles.

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. Service in 2024 included replacing the hood bumpers and touching up the paint in the engine bay and trunk.

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