1962 Austin Healey 3000 MKII BJ7

This Austin Healey BJ7 3000 MKII is a characterful classic British sports car, finished in a tasteful colour scheme. It is powered by a naturally aspirated twin SU carburettor-fed 2.9-litre straight-six, which powers the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Originally a US-market car, this ‘Big Healey’example was first delivered in left-hand drive to Houston, Texas; later exported to the UK and converted to right-hand drive by R&S Motors, Sussex. It was imported to Australia and first passed compliance in 2011. It is noted to have been restored by Sherwood Restorations in the UK, and converted to 12v negative earth. Build year: 1962 This Healey 3000 is finished in Ivory White with a black soft-top roof. The cabin is trimmed in black leather with cream piping and chrome trim accents. It rides on a set of 15-inch chromed wire wheels with twin-eared knock-offs, which are fitted with a set of Bridgestone Turanza ER300 tyres. The specification includes chrome front and rear bumpers with overriders, a tonneau cover, a side-exit exhaust, a wooden-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel, a Smiths cabin heater, push-out quarterlight windows, and electric windscreen wipers. The seller notes the car has been converted to 12v negative earth. Accompanying the car is an impressive selection of insurance, purchase, repair and maintenance documents, a spare wheel, the handbooks and manuals, and two keys. The seller notes a spare set of wire wheels are also available, if required. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
