Introduced in October 1963, the 3000 MKIII was the most refined version of the popular “Big Healey” model line and was the last of Donald Healey’s creations. The MKIII offered amenities such as roll-up windows carried over from the BJ7 series, burled walnut veneer dash, revised center console, and updated rear suspension in Phase II examples. Built between 1963 and 1967, over 17,000 were produced between Phase I and Phase II cars. Achieving 150 horsepower via a twin SU carbureted inline 6 cylinder engine, the MKIII raced from 0-60 in 9.8 seconds; fast for the time period. Today, the MKIII variant is the most coveted of the 3000’s and is one of the quintessential British motor cars representing lasting, and consistent value among car collectors.

This particular Austin Healey 3000, chassis number HBJ8L40604 and engine number 29KRUH15245, is a 1967 model that received a full nut and bolt restoration by marque specialist, BRC, of Philadelphia. There was not a piece of this car that wasn’t not touched by them and their expert craftsmen. Much like all of their restorations it is fantastically done and in most likely better than factory finish. The car has covered a mere 1200 miles since the completion of its restoration. At the time of restoration, the car was outfitted with over $14,000 in upgrades and options over the standard restoration procedure including but not limited too; Performance modification engine (+ 30-40HP), Smitty’s 5-speed conversion, Mohair top, top boot and tonneau, 72 spoke Dayton wire wheels and a spare, Lucas style driving lamps, Moto Lita wood grain steering wheel, Alloy oil pan, polished valve cover and four-wheel disk brakes. It is finished in the extremely delightful color combination of Healey Blue with an earthen brown interior.

This car is offered with a BMIHT certificate, spare and boot cover.
