For Sale: 1966 Austin-Healey 3000 in St Louis, Missouri

The Austin-Healey marque's genesis was that of the Healey Hundred, shown originally by Donald Healey at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show in London. While Austin was not involved in the concept, Board Chairman Leonard Lord saw the car and its reaction from the press prior to the public opening of the show. That evening a deal between the two men and their companies was formed at the famed Dorchester Hotel in London: giving birth to the Austin-Healey brand. The marque's sleek design and proper British Motoring set up resulted in strong sales throughout Europe and North America. With time powertrains evolved from inline four cylinders to straight sixes displacing nearly three liters, the latter of which carried the name Austin-Healey 3000. The last of the 3000 models was the Mk III manufactured through the 1967 model year. Also known as the BJ8, the model is known for its luxuriously appointed interior with roll up windows and burl walnut dash inserts. BJ8's represents the last of the "big Healey's" and to many are the pinnacle of the marque!
