The Healey 3000 represents one of the most graceful and yet powerful classic English sportscars ever produced. It started with the 100/4, subsequently enlarged to 2.6 litres in the 100/6 and finally the most powerful incarnation, the three litre, 3000. All three incarnations looked superb and drove equally well hence their regular use within motorsport. Twin SU carburettors and front disc brakes combined to good effect, the car was well balanced and proved extremely popular. The BJ8 was a very advanced Healey 3000 with a more considered windscreen design, wind-up windows and a quick action folding roof.

Originally registered in September 1964, this Austin Healey presents well in Healey blue with a contrasting interior, wood rimmed steering wheel and wire wheels. The trim of this four-seat example has been recently renewed and is in good order as is the chromework and convertible hood. We are informed that although used sparingly this most classic of British sports cars is a joy to drive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and a hardtop this Healey is ready to be enjoyed by a new custodian. Consigned by Dominic Lake.
