Buyer’s notes
About the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III
The Mk III (BJ8) was the last and most powerful big Healey: its 2,912 cc six, on twin SU carburettors, gave 150 bhp, and the cockpit gained a wood-faced dashboard and a centre console. It was built from late 1963 until 1967.
What moves the price
- Structure: the chassis rails, outriggers and inner sills decide what a car will cost to put right.
- Restoration quality: the standard of earlier body and chassis work.
- Originality and history, including the car’s original market and specification.
Before you buy, check
- The main chassis rails and outriggers, which rust from the inside; tap along the rails and listen for a change in sound.
- The inner sills from inside the car, with the carpets back, and the floorpans and bulkhead for poor repairs.
- Straightness: even panel gaps side to side, and a car that does not pull with no steering input.
