1966 Austin Healey 100-8

Fantastic and Desirable British Roadster

Born of a partnership between Donald Healey and the Austin car company, the career of the "Big Healey" (as opposed to the small Austin Healey Sprite) lasted 15 years. Through out this time, the Austin-Healey competed in European rallies and created a racing pedigree for the brand. Collectability in the US started as soon as the initial units landed in North America with the British Roadster phemonem still inspiring collectors today.

This car is finished in a cream yellow and white two tone combination with a tan convertible top. Nice details like the wire wheels, the unique front grill and the classic British styling make this a very attractive roadster. Inside, a full tan leather interior is very well put together with luxurious wood panel work throughout the dash. The layout of the car is a 2+2 design, giving small children or extra luggage room ample space to ride along.

Driving dynamics of this small bodied, short wheel base, rear wheel drive roadster are heightened by the open top driving experience. Take this Roadster down a twisty back road and this Austin-Healey is a very rewarding drive. Under the hood is a 2912 cc Straight-6 mated to a 4 speed manual with overdrive. While this car is not a straight line bullet by any means, the Healey has the ability to exploit every horsepower on the road at a brisk pace.

This Austin-Healey 3000 MK III BJ8 Convertible has had professional attention to ensure that it remains physically and mechanically fit for driving. Documentation with the vehicle includes, owners manual, Certified Copy of Factory Record, ownership history, and detailed service records.
