The 1965 Austin Healey 3000 Mk. III was the final and most refined version of the legendary British sportscar. Powered by a 2.9 litre inline-six engine producing 150 horsepower, it featured improved carburettors and a revised camshaft for better performance. The Mk. III introduced a more luxurious interior with a walnut-veneer dashboard and a centre console. Servo-assisted brakes became standard, enhancing stopping power. This model, known as the BJ8, was popular for its blend of power, style, and comfort. A true icon of the 1960s, it remains highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

This 1965 Austin Healey has been dry stored for over 25 years. This classic British sportscar hasn't been driven since the late 1990's. Despite this, the car presents in surprisingly good condition and shows no obvious signs of corrosion. The car is presented in the desirable colour combination of dark blue over cream coachwork with dark blue trim piped in cream and a blue hood. This Mk. III example benefits from wire wheels and overdrive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and without reserve, this car could prove to be an enjoyable and rewarding project for its next custodian. Consigned by Dominic Lake.
