This Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III is finished in Colorado Red over black vinyl and powered by a numbers-matching 2.9-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission and overdrive. Equipment includes twin SU carburetors, an aluminum valve cover, a Moto-Lita steering wheel, chrome wire wheels, and a replacement soft top. The car was delivered new in St Louis, Missouri, and was acquired by the owner in 2000. Recent service included balancing the wheels, adjusting the carburetors, changing the oil and transmission fluid, and replacing the exhaust downpipes.
The car was originally finished in Colorado Red and received a repaint in anticipation of the sale. A replacement Robbins soft top was sourced from Moss Motors, and additional features include vent windows, fender-mounted mirrors, a chrome grille, and chrome bumpers with overriders.
Chrome 15″ Dunlop wire wheels feature winged knockoffs and are wrapped in STR Sport radial tires that are in need of replacement. Braking is from front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features factory black Ambla bucket seats with contrasting piping. The British Motor Corporation AM radio does not work, and the wood dashboard shows crazing.
A Moto-Lita steering wheels fronts a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The tachometer and water temperature gauge require rebuilds. The five-digit odometer displays 45k miles.
The 2.9-liter inline-six is equipped with twin SU carburetors and was factory rated at 148 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque. Recent service reportedly included adjusting the carburetors, changing the oil and transmission fluid, and replacing the exhaust downpipes.
The engine data plate matches the number provided on the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Laycock de Normanville overdrive.
