Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this late, attractive 3000 mk3 in a striking original color scheme. This car was purchased recently from the widow of its last owner from the last 20 years from the state of Mississippi. This car was purchased by him in the late 90's as a fresh, fully restored vehicle that included an engine rebuild, paint, interior, top, top boot, tonneau cover, lots of new chrome/rubber, wheels, tires, etc. The car today looks nice, runs and drives well, and presents as a good driver.The body on this car is very good with nice panel fit all the way around, with normal door fit and gapping. There is a small dent on the trunk lid. The car's paintwork is nice, but indoors and up close under certain lights there appears to be some microblistering present. The car's chromework appears excellent, being a mixture of rechromed and original items.A new Triplex windshield was fitted surrounded by a nice chrome frame. There is a pair of Lucas driving lamps and an impressive badge bar fitted.The interior appears to have it's original and correct Ambla seats with imitation chrome piping. Carpets have faded a bit, which is an easy replacement. The dashboard wood could use renewing. The car's panel kit looks good. the top, tonneau, and top boot are all newer as part of the restoration.Mechanically, the car starts easily on the key, revs well with no smoke and great oil pressure, and exhibits all the signs of a healthy engine and gearbox, with a functioning overdrive unit. It's fitted with it's correct 3000 MK3 BJ-8 29K, 150 bhp engine. The exhaust system looks to be in great shape, being a stainless steel unit. The car runs, drives, stops, and steers as expected. It has just come out of storage so a small service and exercising the car is encouraged !The car's underside looks solid with some evidence of some decent older repairs including a new RH outrigger and typical new floors and sills.Overall, a nice looking and good driving car in a handsome color scheme. This desirable BJ-8 Sports Convertible can be enjoyed right away with some possible future improvements, and is very well priced accordingly.
