1965 Austin Healey 3000 Mark III BJ8


I loved this car. I bought one like this used and it was in beautiful condition. I kept it that way, but the Lucas electrics were a pain.
.
My interior leather was blue with a burled wood dashboard and a wooden steering wheel.
.
After a few years, like the fool I was, I sold it for a 400 Ram Air GTO which I blew up within a year.
.
I still have the AH 3000 manual.
.
My best friend and I put the top down one December and drove back to my house through 2' of snow with a 10' Christmas tree sticking out from the tiny (I mean tiny) back seat.
.
Yeah, we got some looks. Might've been the music.

Out all night, sleep all day,
I know what you're doing.
If you're gonna a-act that way,
Think there's trouble brewing.
