Description
This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III underwent a multi-year refurbishment by Elite Vehicle Restorations of Denver, North Carolina, from 2019 to 2023 at a cost of over $94k and has since covered an indicated 2,200 miles. Work as part of the project included body and chassis repairs, a repaint in California Sage, installation of a Dark Green soft top, an interior re-trim in Biscuit leather, a rebuild of the 2.9-liter inline-six, installation of a Toyota five-speed manual transmission, and more as detailed below. The car rides on 15″ knock-off wire wheels and has servo-assisted front disc brakes as well as dual SU carburetors and a stainless-steel exhaust system. Inside, 2+2 seating is accented by wood dash trim and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. Acquired by the current owner in 2025, this 3000 Mk III is now offered by the seller on their behalf out of Bainbridge Island, Washington, with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, a driver’s handbook, refurbishment records, a car cover, and a Washington State title in the owner’s name. The car was stripped and the body and chassis underwent rust repair before being repainted as part of the aforementioned refurbishment completed by Elite Vehicle Restorations, which also included an engine rebuild and other mechanical work. Invoices detailing the refurbishment totaling over $94k can be viewed in the gallery along with a collection of photos documenting the process.
