Vehicle Description
This Healey is one of only 2,825 BN7's built between 1960 and 1962.
It underwent a full, ground-up restoration that was completed five
years ago. Since that time it has only been used for Austin-Healey
Club events. The 2,912cc engine was rebuilt and upgraded with
larger 2" carburetors as used on the MK111 BJ8's and E-Type
Jaguars, and a racing-style headers exhaust system for better
performance. Backing the engine is a modern 5-speed synchronized
manual transmission. Additional upgrades include a steel 6-blade
radiator fan for better cooling, spin-off oil filter, alternator,
gear reduction starter, and Bilstein tube shocks on the front.
Racing style louvers were installed in the front fenders to let the
heat out of the engine compartment like the ones used in the Healey
Works racing and rally cars. All of the chrome is either new or has
been rechromed. The chrome wheels and tires are new and it has a
new top and tonneau cover.
