The Austin-Healey 3000, introduced in 1959 for the 1960 model year, became one of the most iconic and powerful models in the ‘Big Healeys’ lineup, which also included the 100 and 100-6.
Throughout its production, the 3000 was available in several configurations: a 2+2 roadster (BT7), a 2-seat roadster (BN7), and a 2+2 convertible (BJ7 and BJ8).
All variants were powered by the 2.9L inline six-cylinder engine that gave the 3000 its name, though the engine was offered in different states of tune depending on the model.
The Austin-Healey 3000 spanned three generations: Mk I (1960–1961), Mk II (1962–1963), and Mk III (1964–1967). Known for its sporty design and performance, the 3000 was often converted into a race car, further solidifying its reputation in automotive history.
Production of the Austin Healey 3000 came to an unfortunate end in late 1967 when it was decided that the Austin Healey brand was no longer sustainable.
Between 1964 and 1967, a total of 17,712 Mark III models were built. These cars have since cemented their status as some of the most iconic British roadsters ever created.
