Vehicle Description
This 1964 Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III BJ8 received a
no-expense-spared professional body-off restoration by Classic
Imports of Maine. The correct restoration was recognized by the
judges at the Celebration Exotic Car Show with a Concours Gold
Award. Power comes from its matching-numbers 2912cc inline
6-cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission with
electronic overdrive in third and fourth gears. The
switch-activated overdrive has been upgraded to top racing
specifications with improved response time by Tsikuris Classics in
Lakeland, FL. As part of the comprehensive restoration, the engine
and its ancillaries, as well as the transmission, were rebuilt by
Frank Monise Motors. The suspension and brakes have also been
rebuilt along with an all-new wiring harness. Finished in its
original colors of British Racing Green with a black Everflex
convertible top with matching boot and tonneau cover over a black
leather interior and mostly new chrome work. The interior is
correct with leather seats front and back, side panels, armrests
and carpet. It rides on 72-spoke chromed wire wheels and includes
an adjustable steering column, radio, heater, two wing-mounted
sideview mirrors and a laminated windscreen. There's also an
Armacord chrome trunk luggage rack complete with a picnic basket.
All restoration receipts and photos as well as a reproduction
driver's handbook are included with the sale, as well as the
British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate documents.
