Introduced to the public in 1959, the Austin Healey 3000 is the descendant of a line of English roadsters imagined after the Second World War by Donald Healey with the aim of making affordable, elegant, high-performance convertibles. Initially powered by a four-cylinder engine under the hood of the Austin Healey 100/4, the roadster soon adopted an in-line six-cylinder engine developing almost three liters and 125 horsepower in its first version, earning it the nickname "Big Healey". Three versions of the Austin Healey 3000 followed until 1968, with the BJ8 offering very decent performance for its time. The MK1 was available in two versions: a two-seater, the BJ7, and a 4-seater, the BT7.
The example we are offering is a BT7 from 1960, in good overall condition. A lot of work has been carried out recently. The clutch, overdrive, brakes and exhaust are all new. As for the ignition, it has been replaced by an electronic one, improving both comfort and reliability.
So it's a car in a desirable color combination that we present to you, and one that's been relied on by its owner for 10 years.
