The Austin-Healey was born from the Healey Hundred, first shown
at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show. British Motor Industry legend
Sir Leonard Lord, soon convinced Healey that Austin should build
the car and thus gave birth to the Austin-Healey 100. The
Austin-Healey's design and appeal as a true British Sports Car,
resulted in strong sales across the globe in the late 1950's and
early 60's. The Austin-Healey 3000 was introduced in 1959. While
stylistically the same as the 100-6, the 2.6-litre 6 cylinder
engine was dropped in favor of a new 3.0-litre unit that was good
for 125 horsepower and pushed to 3000 to 60mph in 11 seconds. Like
the 100-6 two bodies were available, the 2+2 BT7 and the 2 seater
BN7 were both popular with customers. While 13,650 Mk I 3000’s were
produced between 1959 and 1961, only 2,825 were built in the sporty
BN7 two seater platform. Today the Austin-Healey 3000 is regarded
as the pinnacle of the Austin-Healey marque and rare BN7
two-seaters are widely cherished by enthusiasts and collectors
across the globe.
The 1960 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk I BN7 Roadster featured here is
finished in stunning Old English White with a gorgeous Deep Red
leather interior. This magnificent motorcar was meticulously
restored by Kurt Tanner, a world renowned Austin-Healey marque

manual, toolkit, restoration photos, British Motor Industry
Heritage Certificate, service records and more. We are proud to
