1966 Austin-Healey BJ8

1966 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII BJ8 is one of the last years of the “Big Healey”. With its inline 6 cylinder 3 liter motor producing 150hp mated to a factory overdrive transmission. The BJ8 is the most powerful and luxurious of the big Healeys with wind up windows and walnut veneer dash.

This Austin Healey has had a comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration completed approximately 20 years ago and was performed in Montreal Canada. During the restoration, a Jules frame was used to ensure a rigid body with great body lines.

This BJ8 is finished in the classic color of Healey Blue and presents very well. The blue interior with silver piping is also in very good condition and is void of any excess wear or deterioration, the walnut dash gleams against the Smith gauges and fundamental toggle switches.

This 1966 Austin Healey BJ8 is accented with 72 spoke chrome wheels which are surrounded by Michelin XZX tires.
