Gateway Classic Cars of Houston
1910 Cypress Station Dr.
Houston, TX 77090
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to offer this fine example of the last generation of the "Big Healey" for sale. This gorgeous black over red Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III BJ8 convertible is powered by a 2.9L inline six-cylinder engine, which is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Respected Austin-Healey restoration authority British Motor Corporation performed a thorough restoration of this car (BMC has since seen its owner, Knut Holzers retirement, and is now British Restorations, Inc.). The car comes with all roadside accessories, along with a restoration CD with scores of photos documenting the restoration process, and a folder full of information gathered on this car, including a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate. The paint looks amazing, the chrome sparkles, and the vibrant red interior looks virtually unused. Not only that, but the leather smells wonderful, and the exotic wood dash adds just the right vintage touch to go with its Smiths gauges. It rides on beautiful wire knock-off wheels (a proper disengagement tool is included for them), which are wrapped with radial tires that have plenty of tread life left. Occupants will appreciate the seat belts and the AM/FM radio (hidden behind the "3000" panel in the console center stack) during the many cruises that this car will no doubt be taken on by its new owner and a lucky friend. This "Big Healey" comes with additional features and accessories, such as the front badge bar with Lucas driving lamps, RAC and St. Christopher badges, a full tonneau cover, spare tire assembly with leather tie down, lead hammer, and wood knock-off protector.
