From 1959 to 1967, British car manufacturer Austin-Healey produced the 3000 model in Abingdon, England. Known as the “big Healey” model, the 3000 varied from a 2-seat roadster to a 2+2 sports car with available convertible top. The car was an absolute success in America, with over 90% of the 3000s produced being exported to North America in 1963 alone. In February, 1964, Austin-Healey announced the Mark III/BJ8 sports convertible model. The model included the 2912cc inline 6 cylinder motor...that Austin-Healey was famous for but had 14 more horsepower, up to 150bhp, with a new higher lift camshaft. This 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Convertible is the result of a no-expense spared ground-up nut and bolt 100-point rotisserie restoration.
