Description

For Sale: Immaculate 1965 Austin Healey 3000 MkIII BJ8 – Past Concours winner. Car will include new MOT.

After twenty wonderful years of ownership, the time has come to part with my beloved Austin Healey 3000 Mk3. Due to disability, I can no longer drive this magnificent machine, and it deserves an enthusiast who will cherish it as much as I have.
