This 1966 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III BJ8 sold for $123,200 at the 2022 RM Sotheby’s Amelia Island auction.
The interior of this example has been meticulously restored in red Ambla Vinyl.
By 1964, the Mark III, only available as a convertible, carried an inline-six engine making 150 hp.
The “big Healey” was especially popular in the U.S. market, where most were exported.

This car was given wire wheels when originally built.
When new, the Austin-Healey was a step up from Triumph’s four-cylinder fare, such as the TR3 and TR4, and a rung or two below the higher-priced—and more powerful—Jaguar XK-E.
The Austin-Healey 3000 was the last of the “big Healey” models, distinguished by its size, rakish profile, and its extra two cylinders.
