Sarah W's 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8
|
Sold new by the Fred Deeley dealership in Vancouver, British Columbia. Purchased in Vancouver in 1991 needing work, but 3 children and family pressures resulted in her mostly sitting patiently for many years.
After a really bad false start, she was shipped over to Victoria and the top notch restoration company Coachwerks that did a fantastic job of repairing the metalwork and giving her the current two-toned paint job. A full restoration was completed in 2015 and gradual tweaking has been performed since then. Latest addition has been an electronic ignition.
She has won several awards including Best in Class, and was invited to one show where I was just the needed driver. The car was the star!
