This 1966 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 MKIII Sports Convertible was offered for sale at the 2007 RM Auctions in Amelia Island, Florida. It was estimated to sell for $65,000-$85,000 and offered without reserve. The car is powered by a 2912-cc overhead valve inline six-cylinder engine that produces 150 horsepower. There is a four-speed manual gearbox and Girling front disc brakes.
In July of 1959, the first production Austin-Healeys appeared with the 2912-cc engine with a body built by Jensen. Top speed was 114 mph from the 124 horsepower engine. The Mark III BJ8 had a modified engine which included twin SU two-inch HD8 carburetors that raised the horsepower to 150 and top speed to 120.
In 1962, 2+2 seating was implemented improving upon the cars practicality; two years later, the cars interior was completely redesigned. Girling disc were also added which continued the vehicles sporty characteristics and performance.
This Austin-Healey finished in black with a red interior has been treated to a complete restoration which was completed in 2006. The car has been carefully maintained and driven 1500 miles since that restoration.
At auction, the car did find a new owner, selling within the estimated value, and netting $66,000.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2007
