1960 Austin-Healey 3000

“Significant recent expenditure, attractive valuation”

The Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III is the latest iteration of the British firm’s iconic model, representing the pinnacle of the ‘Big Healeys’ series. The BJ8 versions are distinguished by their modified radiator grille, new dashboard and an engine now producing 148 ch.

The Austin-Healey featured here was first registered in 1965 in the USA. It was imported into France in 2018, having remained with the same owner in the state of Georgia since 1974.

Today, the car has developed a rather attractive patina. The bodywork was refurbished a few years ago and shows a few minor imperfections, as noted in the condition report. The upholstery, meanwhile, is in very good condition and appears to be largely original.

Mechanically, this example runs beautifully. A comprehensive file of invoices accompanies this car, including, notably in 2024, a refurbishment of the gearbox – specifically the overdrive – as well as work carried out on a number of engine components. All of this now ensures a highly enjoyable driving experience.

Offered at a very attractive estimate, this Big Healey will be ideal for a family looking to go on holiday in an elegant, prestigious roadster that’s powerful enough to cover the miles without breaking a sweat!
