The Austin-Healey 3000 was introduced in 1959 and produced through 1967 with numerous upgrades along the way. The Mark III BJ8 examples were equipped with a 150 horsepower engine, a softer trailing-arm rear suspension, and power brakes. This particular example, completed in late December of 1964, was sent to a dealer in New York in February of 1965. It left the factory finished in Healey Blue over blue. It received a restoration by Knut Holzer of British Motor Corporation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2014 at a cost of $82,000. The body was completely stripped and refinished in its present Irish Mist Green with a Parchment interior with green piping and a green mohair top and boot. It was given new carpeting and a Moto-Lita steering wheel. The chrome was re-dipped and new wire wheels installed. The odometer currently displays 1,550 miles which is believed to be mileage since restoration.By Daniel Vaughan | Jun 2021
