Descrizione

The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built from 1959 until 1967. It is the best known of the "big Healey" models. The car's bodywork was made by Jensen Motors and the vehicles were assembled at BMC's MG Works in Abingdon, alongside the corporation's MG models. 
The third and final generation of Austin-Healey 3000, known as the Mk III, was introduced in 1963 for the 1964 model year. The Mk III was only offered in one variant, a 2+2 convertible known as the BJ8. The updated 2.9L inline-six engine featured new triple carburetors and produced 150hp. The third generation of 3000 was the most produced, with a total of 17,712 Mk III cars built. Production of the 3000 Mk III continued until 1967 when the model was discontinued.
