History
🚚 This Austin Healey MK3 BJ8 was delivered new in 1965.
It arrived in France in 2013, imported by Classic Cars and rebuilt by them. The previous owner kept it for more than 11 years, until his death. The heirs sold it to the current owner via an auction house.
The current owner bought it in 2024 on a whim. After spending more than €22,000 to restore the car to the best possible working order, he decided to part with it in favour of a vintage Jaguar.

Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III
It is not easy to sell a classic car, as buyers are always wary, which is understandable. They fear being ripped off, given the large sums of money sometimes involved. CarJager supports and advises you throughout the sale. All the administrative procedures are handled for you and payment is secure. Our team is available and responsive. It is true that all these services come at a significant cost. But that is probably the price of peace of mind and trust between buyers and sellers.
