This is an elegant and charming 1966 Austin-Healey BJ8 MK III Convertible, a true icon from the golden era of British sports cars. This Austin-Healey exudes pure class with its clean lines, graceful curves and classic, refined aesthetic. This convertible offers an exciting and authentic driving experience. Whether driving along winding country roads or city streets, the BJ8 MK III delivers power and precision in every gear. The car offered here was delivered in Barcelona, Spain where it stayed until the current owner purchased it in 2016. This car is in its original unrestored condition thanks to the mild Spanish climate. The is car is in an unrestored state and is in good condition. Thus, it was driven every month until recently to avoid downtime. The headlights are in addition to beautiful appearance, a rare original Auston Healy option. The interior, with its attention to detail and quality materials, looks great. So do the leather seats, which are in good condition. There appears to be a small hole in the exhaust, we recommend having it plugged. This Austin-Healey is more than a car, it is a piece of British history, an icon of its time. The condition of the vehicle, along with its authenticity and originality, make it a worthwhile investment and an eye-catcher on any road. To get a good idea of the lot we recommend you come to the viewing day.
