The late model BJ8 3000 Mk3 offered here was manufactured in June 1967 (making it one of the last built). We have no early history for the car beyond the detail provided by the British Motor Industry Heritage certificate which accompanies the vehicle. It records that the Healey was originally a left-hand drive, North America export model, finished in black with red trim. It is believed it was exported to California and returned to its country of origin in the late 1990s.

In 1999/ 2000 it was the subject of a full restoration by Big Healey Restorations of Nottinghamshire for the personal use of the proprietor, David Ward. At this time the exterior colour was changed to the current Colorado Red; the engine modified to run on unleaded fuel and electronic ignition fitted. We assume this is also the point that it was converted to right-hand drive – there is no detail relating to the restoration work on record. The car was registered in the UK in July 2000 but only remained in the country for a little time, as it was sold to a new Jersey-based owner and re-registered in the island in January 2001.

Since that point the Healey has remained in the island, changing hands just once and covering a very modest further 5, 000 miles or so, being well maintained and cherished by its current owner of 18 years.

The Mk 3 3000 was the last of the line, by which time power was now a claimed 150bhp, allowing a top speed of around 120mph and zero to 60 mph acceleration time of 10 seconds. This example has servo assisted brakes and an overdrive gearbox, augmented by an unleaded head conversion; electronic ignition and electric cooling fan. It also has a thunderous stainless steel side-exit exhaust fitted and slightly wider than standard chrome wire wheels, shod with 185/ 70x15 tyres.

The bodywork is in good shape all round, with gleaming Colorado Red paintwork. The underside is solid and very clean. The black folding hood is in very good condition, as are the chrome wire wheels.

Being a late model, this 3000 has wind-up side windows, and opening quarter lights. Fully re-trimmed on restoration, the black leather seats, carpeting and door cards are in excellent condition. The dashboard has been finished with a quality veneer and a wood-rimmed Moto Lita steering wheel fitted.

A classic British sports car in excellent condition, driving well and with huge street presence – aided by the powerful exhaust note. The owner has the original parts which have been removed or upgraded (front & rear bumpers, exhaust system, original wire wheels) together with some spares.

There is a history file detailing works/ maintenance since the restoration of 1999/ 2000 together with a BMIHT certificate.

The car is currently Jersey registered.
