The last generation of the "Big Healey" was powered by a 2.9-liter SOHC inline six-cylinder engine that could produce 148 horsepower and was coupled to a four-speed manual transmission that had an overdrive unit. Major styling enhancements, which also improved the aerodynamics, were also done to the Austin-Healey. A wraparound windscreen was installed, and the doors now had roll-down windows; gone were side-curtains. A removable rear-window panel was also featured, and handling was also greatly improved, thanks to a stiffer anti-roll bar up front and modified shock settings.
The Mark III offered here was built April 18-19, 1966 and dispatched on the 27th, destined for Chicago, Illinois in Healey Blue paint with Blue trim and hood. Factory equipment included wire wheels, heater, adjustable steering column, whitewall tires, blue tonneau cover, laminated windscreen and overdrive gearbox. Chassis #35828 now displays older paint and upholstery, never fully restored, but rather maintained as needed - Ideal for those seeking a numbers-matching and very spirited driver. This BJ8 is complete with Owner's Manual, convertible top, matching boot cover and spare tire assembly. Furthermore, correct Michelin XWX tires and driving lamps compliment the ensemble. British Motor Heritage Trust Heritage Document Wallet confirms all original factory specifications.
