The 1966 Austin Healey 3000 MK3 is the absolute pinnacle of the legendary “Big Healey” series. This MK3, also known as the BJ8, was powered by the powerful 2.9-liter 6-cylinder engine, which guarantees a characterful sound and impressive smoothness. Combined with the 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive, this British sports car offers a pure and engaging driving experience, exactly as it was meant to be in the 1960s. The MK3 was the most refined version of the 3000 series, with improved finish and extra comfort, without losing its sporting DNA. This car is in excellent condition and has always been treated with care, which is reflected in its well-maintained presentation and authentic appearance, with some minor signs of wear commensurate with its age.
The exterior is finished in stylish Ice Blue with two-tone white paintwork, a classic and highly sought-after color combination that perfectly complements the Healey’s elegant lines. The chrome wire wheels enhance the sporty yet chic character of this roadster. The dark blue Sonnenland soft top complements the paintwork beautifully and creates a harmonious overall look, both open and closed. The interior features black upholstery that contrasts beautifully with the light exterior, while the wooden dashboard provides a warm, luxurious feel. The combination of chrome accents, classic instrumentation, and the characteristic gear lever with overdrive completes the picture. A stylish British classic that effortlessly combines driving pleasure and style.
