Despite its new name the changes were minor compared to those between the original 100 and the 100-6. The wheelbase and body were unchanged as were the models a 2+2 and a two-seater. The 3000 Mark III was launched in October 1963 and remained in production until the end of 1967 when manufacture of Austin-Healey’s ceased. Only one further car was built in March 1968.[citation needed] Designated the BJ8 the 2+2 Mark III was the most powerful and luxurious of the big Healey’s with a standard walnut-veneer dash wind-up windows and a 150 hp (112 kW) engine. Added power came from a new camshaft and valve springs twin SU 2" HD8 carburetors and a new exhaust system design. Servo-assisted brakes were also standard. Options remained otherwise the same except that the standard interior trim was downgraded to Ambla vinyl with leather as an extra. This 1965 Austin Healey 3000 Mkll.
