MotorCarTrader.com is pleased to offer another beautiful British Sports Cars. This stunning 1967 Austin Healey 3000 Mark III BJ8 was built November 9th-16th of 1966 and the date of dispatch was November 21 of 1966. The original dealer was in Mobile, Alabama, USA. We purchased this car form a collector we have bought multiple cars from. He owned this wonderful car for nearly 40 years. His primary goal owning this car, was to make it as nice a driver he could with excellent driving upgrades and for it also to handle the warmer weather in Texas. The car only has 38,650 miles which we understand to be original. The previous owner did keep a log of most of the work he did since we purchased the car. This car is a driver type car and it is not a show car and because of that there were several driving upgrades completed. The upgrades, work completed but not limited to and more information on the car is as follows:
