- 79,000 gasoline green manual
British Racing Green (BRG) is the perfect color for an Austin Healey 3000, as these pictures show! The original owner was from southern California, and I bought it from the second owner in Arizona, so it’s a “desert” car without a spot of rust anywhere. Mechanically it has been maintained perfectly, as the 10 year of service records document. Was repainted just before I bought it in 2007, and a local foreign car expert here in Santa Fe went through a complete mechanical update in 2008: new brake pads & shoes, new drive shaft U-joints, resealed the timing cover, gearbox, & exhaust manifold, new suspension bushings, radiator hoses, etc. Will include the full service receipt details for every year I owned it, including Hemmings’ overly-expensive, extra-Zinc synthetic oil. I only use Ethanol-free gasoline which saves all the original rubber & plastic. Also included is the original owner’s manual, shop manual and a nice collection of magazine articles & publications on the history of this model. This BJ8 is completely stock with many very rare original items including the original tonneau cover & boot, British Motor Corporation AM radio (the local AM music stations suck, but the radio works great), 4-speed trans with electronic Laycock overdrive, telescopic steering wheel, original wood dash, etc. The few non-stock items are: • Electronic ignition system (no more points to adjust) • Chrome spoke wheels (original painted ones are included) • Halogen headlights & parking lights (safety first) • Stainless steel mufflers & exhaust pipes (will never rot) • Extra firewall insulation (gets hot here in the summer) • Multiple-blade radiator fan (ditto) Other than these items, the car is totally original – not a restored re-creation, but completely original. WARRANTY: This vehicle is used, and being sold AS IS, with no warranties, expressed or implied. Good luck bidding on this beauty and I hope whomever wins takes equally good care of it for its next 50 years.
