This 1967 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII (BJ8) has remained in the same family since the 1970s. The owner’s father purchased the car decades ago and later passed it down to his son more than 20 years ago. The car carries strong family history and sentimental value.
The owner drove the Austin Healey BJ8 regularly until the pandemic. Since then, the car has remained in storage. Now the goal is to bring the car back to reliable driving condition while improving its appearance.
This project focuses on a practical Austin Healey refurbishment, not a concours-level restoration. The owner wants a classic British sports car that runs well, drives reliably, and looks great on the road.
The work will address several key areas. Planned improvements include paint and bodywork, interior restoration, electrical system service, and a full mechanical inspection.
This 1967 Austin Healey 3000 already received extensive mechanical work in the past. A previous restoration included a complete engine rebuild, gearbox rebuild, suspension service, and brake system refresh.
Our process begins with a thorough inspection of the car. We evaluate the engine, drivetrain, electrical system, and chassis components. The team then develops a clear restoration plan that prioritizes reliability, safety, and drivability.
With careful planning and expert craftsmanship, this Austin Healey 3000 MKIII restoration will return a cherished family classic to the road for many more years of enjoyment.
