Description
COMING SOON, but available now.
A stunning example of the final edition of the “Big Healey” models, in the classic Duo-Tone combination of Ice-Blue over Old English White. This car has been subject to a professional ground up restoration, completed in the Autumn of 2020. Works carried out included extensive body, chassis, interior, electrical and mechanical restoration, including a full engine rebuild, with the car having travelled less than 400 miles since completion.
What makes this car even more special, is the many thousands that have been lavished upon it in upgrades since 2023, to turn it into the incredible fast road spec example it is today.
Upgrades include a Denis Welch Motorsport fast road cylinder head, with fast flow inlet manifolds, tubular manifolds and side exit exhaust system. It has also been fitted with a high torque starter motor and electronic ignition. A Fosseway front disc conversion has been added and cooling has been upgraded to a large core aluminium radiator with additional thermostatically controlled electric fan. The gear box has been upgraded to a 5 speed box, the steering effort reduced with the addition of adjustable electric power steering and lighting improved, with the addition Inox spotlights. Finally, suspension front and rear has also been overhauled and all bushes replaced.
All the above works have been carried out by Austin Healey specialist JME Healeys in Warwick.
The car comes a set of both 72 spoke painted and chrome wire wheels all with new tyres.
Many original parts substituted by the upgrades have been retained and will come with the car on sale. These inculde front and rear bumpers, cylinder head, gearbox and steering wheel.
The car interior was completely retrimmed by Aldridge Trimmers and comes with all its weather gear that includes a brand new vinyl roof and full tonneau cover.
Being the most powerful and luxurious of all the Healey derivatives, the MK III Phase 2 BJ8s have always been much sought after. This example benefiting from a recent high quality restoration and featuring many significant upgrades is both a stunning looking and fantastic driving car, that's blast down B roads and more than able to cope with the rigours of modern day driving.
