A significant step in terms of 'Big Healey' evolution and foundation block for one of the 1960s' most charismatic rally cars, the 3000 MkI was introduced in March 1959.
Powered by an enlarged 2912cc version of BMC's C-Series straight-six engine that developed some 124bhp and 167lbft of torque, it could be had in two-seater (BN7) or 2+2 seater (BT7) configurations.
Progressively improved, the 3000 metamorphosed through MkII and MkIIa guises before the arrival of the ultimate MkIII BJ8 in October 1963.
Boasting a centre console, proper convertible hood, wood veneer dashboard, redesigned exhaust system and wind-up windows, the 2+2 seater BJ8 proved a comfortable and fast 'grand tourer'.
This elegantly handsome Austin-Healey has been in the current ownership since 2018; ‘HVK 601C’ is a matching chassis and engine numbers example of a MkII BJ8.
With a build date of late June/early July 1964, this ‘Big Healey’ was despatched to Nuffield Exports Limited, Charlestown, South Carolina, USA....
