Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to offer this fine
example of the last generation of the "Big Healey" for sale. This
gorgeous black over red Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III BJ8 convertible
is powered by a 2.9L inline six-cylinder engine, which is paired
with a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Respected
Austin-Healey restoration authority British Motor Corporation
performed a thorough restoration of this car (BMC has since seen
its owner, Knut Holzer's retirement, and is now British
Restorations, Inc.). The car comes with all roadside accessories,
along with a restoration CD with scores of photos documenting the
restoration process, and a folder full of information gathered on
this car, including a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust
Certificate. The paint looks amazing, the chrome sparkles, and the
vibrant red interior looks virtually unused. Not only that, but the
leather smells wonderful, and the exotic wood dash adds just the
right vintage touch to go with its Smiths gauges. It rides on
beautiful wire knock-off wheels (a proper disengagement tool is
included for them), which are wrapped with radial tires that have
plenty of tread life left. Occupants will appreciate the seat belts
and the AM/FM radio (hidden behind the "3000" panel in the console
center stack) during the many cruises that this car will no doubt
be taken on by its new owner and a lucky friend. This "Big Healey"
comes with additional features and accessories, such as the front
badge bar with Lucas driving lamps, RAC and St. Christopher badges,
a full tonneau cover, spare tire assembly with leather tie down,
lead hammer, and wood knock-off protector. Don't miss your
opportunity to own one of the most revered and iconic British
sports cars - call or email our Houston Showroom today!
