Registration No: PAR 658D Chassis No: HBJ835572 MOT: ExemptDesirable RHD 'home market' BJ8 exampleJust 3 Former keepers over nearly 60 yearsPreviously used for long-distance touring, with some subtle upgrades PLEASE NOTE: The side glass has been removed due to a crack and the vendor is happy to supply a new glass on sale of the lot.A significant step in terms of 'Big Healey' evolution and foundation block for one of the 1960s' most charismatic rally cars, the 3000 MkI was introduced in March 1959. Powered by an enlarged 2912cc version of BMC’s C-Series straight-six engine that developed some 124bhp and 167lb ft of torque, it could be had in two-seater (BN7) or 2+2 seater (BT7) configurations. Progressively improved, the 3000 metamorphosed through MkII and MkIIa guises before the arrival of the ultimate MkIII BJ8 in October 1963. Boasting a centre console, proper convertible hood, wood veneer dashboard, redesigned exhaust system and wind-up windows, the 2+2 seater BJ8 proved a comfortable and fast grand tourer. With engine output boosted to 148bhp and 165lbft of torque thanks to a new camshaft and better valve springs etc, its reputed 124mph top speed was accessed via a four-speed manual gearbox. Last of the line, the Phase Two variant benefited from redesigned rear suspension, strengthened splined hubs and larger diameter front disc brakes. First owned by Ms Judith Davies of Leavesden, ‘PAR 658D’ belonged to Maggi and Roger Byford for some forty-five years before entering the current (fourth) ownership via our June 2023 IWM Duxford auction. Garaged alongside the Byfords’ all-conquering, works-specification rally car ’32 EXT’ for decades, the BJ8 was used for numerous European Tours being subtly modified with a works-style overdrive switch to the gear knob, electronic ignition and 12v charging ports for sat-nav devices / mobile telephones. Entrusted to RobSport of Shepreth for a full inspection and minor recommissioning ahead of its last appearance under the hammer, the Big Healey had its fluid levels checked, nipples greased and spark plugs replaced etc. Described by RobSport proprietor Simon Hebditch at the time as “a car that runs and drives great, with overdrive (though a non-overdrive back axle has been utilised which is much better for touring)”. He also commented that “the mechanicals are great - the car really is a pleasure to drive with no noises that shouldn’t be there” before adding “the underside is excellent and not rusty” and “the trim has a nice patina and the dashboard is great, with the vinyl hood and tonneau also fitting well”. Deemed by the seller to be “running very well”, he has had the seat pads and door cards sympathetically smartened and the engine re-tuned. Well-known in Big Healey circles, this low owner, ‘home market’ BJ8 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, handbook, workshop manual, jack and hammer etc. For more information, please contact: Baljit Atwal baljit.atwal@handh.co.uk 07943 584762
