History
Launched in October 1963, the MKIII BJ8 represents the ultimate evolution of the "Big Healeys" line, transforming the rustic roadster of the early days into a truly luxurious Grand Tourer. This version is distinguished by its refined interior, featuring for the first time a burr walnut dashboard, rising windows and a much more practical hinged soft top. Under the bonnet, its 3-litre six-cylinder engine was boosted to 150 bhp, delivering top-of-the-range performance that cemented its legendary status both on the road and in rallying. In 1964, the "Phase 2" update brought major technical improvements, including a modified chassis to increase ground clearance and a redesigned rear suspension. Production finally ended at the end of 1967. The current owner has owned the car since 2017.

General state
This model is in very good condition. The bodywork was restored in 2019, with the work documented by invoices totalling €17,000. The necessary bodywork components were redone, as was the paintwork. The alignment and adjustments are good. The green paintwork is smooth and has a beautiful shine. The rims are well preserved. The chrome has a beautiful shine. Inside, the black seats are in fairly good condition. Some of the stitching on the driver's seat needs to be redone. The varnish on the burr walnut inserts has no cracks. The black Bakelite steering wheel is very well preserved. The dashboard instruments are functional.
The owner has decided not to open the engine as it is running very satisfactorily, smoothly and melodiously. A thorough overhaul was carried out at the end of 2024, with the gearbox mounts being replaced at the same time. The tyres date from 2009 and need to be replaced.
