This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III is powered by a 2.9-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and it has been repainted in light blue with a black soft top. The cabin is outfitted with Red Ambla vinyl upholstery, 2+2 seating, wood veneer trim, and a banjo-style steering wheel, and the car rides on chrome wire-spoke wheels that are mounted over front disc and rear drum brakes. Additional equipment includes a hood scoop, a luggage rack, a Talbot Berlin-style mirror, a push-button radio, and a cabin heater. This 3000 Mk III was acquired by the current owner in 2023 and is now offered on dealer consignment in Massachusetts with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate and a New Hampshire title.

The car has been refinished in light blue and features a folding black soft top that does not have a rear window. Further details include a hood scoop, a Talbot Berlin-style side mirror, a luggage rack, bright trim, and chrome bumpers with overriders. Corrosion is noted where paint has chipped away near the driver’s door.

Chrome 15″ knock-off wire wheels were installed in 2023, and they are mounted with Michelin XAS tires. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. The selling dealer tells us the sway bar bushings were replaced and the brake system was overhauled with a replacement master cylinder, calipers, pads, and rotors under current ownership.

The 2+2 cabin is trimmed in Red Ambla vinyl, and wood veneer trim accents the dashboard. Interior appointments include front bucket seats, a push-button radio, a cabin heater, a locking glovebox, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror.

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 30k miles, a few hundred miles of which were added under current ownership. The seller states the mileage is not accurate, and total 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. Service between November 2023 and January 2025 included cleaning the carburetors, performing an oil change, and replacing the heater hoses, thermostat, front engine cover, generator drive belt, and gaskets for the engine side cover, oil pan, and timing cover.

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

The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate shows factory equipment and indicates that the car was dispatched in left-hand-drive North American specification on July 20, 1967, to Amec in the USA.

The New Hampshire title carries an “Antique Vehicle” brand.
