Used 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III BJ8 for sale in Monteira

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019. Estimate: €40,000 - €60,000 First year of the final generation of 'Big Healeys' One of less than 4,000 sold for 1965 Referred to as the 'Big Healey' by enthusiasts, the 3000 is powered by the 148 hp BMC 2,912 cc six-cylinder. With the final Mark III Healeys, production began in late 1963 and ended in December 1967. Performance proved excellent for the era, going from 0-96 km/h in 9.8 seconds and with a top speed of 180 km/h. As was the case with most British sports cars, the cost to meet US safety and emission requirements sealed the fate of the car, relegating it to the history books for the 1968 model year. Delivered new to the Netherlands in November of 1965, this car was built to European-delivery specifications and originally finished in Colorado Red with a black interior and matching black soft top. It is important to note that at some point the car's original engine was replaced with an engine of the correct type. Presently wearing a striking two-tone livery of blue and silver over a blue leather interior, this example is fitted with the ubiquitous chrome wire wheels and will serve perfectly for an owner looking to drive and enjoy one of the most beloved British automobiles ever built. Primeiro ano da gera��o final do Healey 3000 Um de menos de 4.000 vendidos em 1965 Referido como o "3000" pelos entusiastas, � propulsionado pelos 148 cv do motor de seis-cilindros BMC de 2,912 cc. Com o �ltimo Healey Mark III, a produ��o come�ou no final de 1963 e terminou em dezembro de 1967. O desempenho era excelente para a �poca, fazendo 0-96 km / h em 9,8 segundos e atingindo uma velocidade m�xima de 180 km / h. Como foi o caso da maioria dos carros desportivos brit�nicos, o custo para cumprir os requisitos de seguran�a e emiss�es nos EUA ditou o destino do 3000, relegando-o aos livros de hist�ria no ano modelo de 1968. Entregue novo na Holanda em novembro de 1965, este autom�vel foi constru�do com especifica��es de entrega europeia e originalmente acabado em vermelho Colorado Red com interior e capota em lona pretos. � importante notar que o motor original foi substitu�do por outro do tipo correto.
