1965 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII BJ8 – Final Evolution of the Big Healey Legend
A beautifully preserved and well-documented 1965 Austin Healey 3000 Mark III BJ8, finished in an elegant two-tone combination of silver over blue — a colour scheme that highlights the graceful lines of this iconic British roadster.
This particular example is more than just a classic: it’s the final and most refined version of the legendary "Big Healey" lineage. The BJ8 introduced significant improvements over its predecessors, including a more powerful engine, upgraded suspension, improved interior comfort, and wind-up windows — all making it the most usable and desirable model in the 3000 series.
Provenance & Condition
This car has been in the hands of the same owner for 32 years, a rare testament to both its quality and the affection it inspires. The car has clearly been cherished and maintained with care, and it shows throughout.
• The two-tone exterior paint remains in excellent condition, with a smooth, even finish and deep gloss.
• The chrome trim — bumpers, grille, mirrors and accents — presents beautifully, free of pitting or wear.
• A new convertible roof has been recently fitted and looks as fresh as the rest of the car.
Interior Elegance
Inside, the Healey is fitted with a dark blue leather interior that complements the exterior perfectly. The upholstery is in beautiful condition, showing minimal wear and excellent craftsmanship. The dashboard is clean, with all original Smiths instruments functioning properly — no broken dials, missing switches, or modifications.
Mechanically Sound
This BJ8 is powered by the well-known 2.9L (3-litre) straight-six engine, delivering around 150 hp and mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. The car runs strong, pulls well through the revs, and offers that unmistakable Healey exhaust note.
The gearbox shifts smoothly, and the car feels composed and responsive on the road — a true pleasure to drive.
Included is a comprehensive maintenance history, confirming the car has been consistently serviced and kept in excellent mechanical condition.
A Collector’s Piece with Real-World Enjoyment
The BJ8 represents the pinnacle of the Austin Healey 3000, blending classic open-top charm with improved road manners. Whether you're looking for a show-worthy addition to your collection, a solid long-term investment, or simply one of the most enjoyable British sports cars ever built — this example delivers.
Cars like this — with long-term ownership, strong mechanicals, excellent cosmetics, and proper documentation — are becoming increasingly hard to find.
