HIGHLIGHTS: Clean California car that came to NC in 2002.
Documented ownership history back to 1991, lots of documented
maintenance in the last few years. This unusual little car drives
great and is a blast to drive!
BODY OVERVIEW: The body is remarkably clean for an old British car,
as one would expect for a California vehicle. The convertible top
is fully functional, and while it has one small tear, it is in good
overall condition. The wire wheels are also in great condition.
This car appears to be an older restoration that has been driven
and kept up over the years!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The paint on this Austin-Healey is in
great shape, being that it appears to be an older paint job. While
it shows minor signs of age and use, such as a nick here or there,
it has plenty of shine to it, and you can tell that this car has
been cared for since it was restored.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior of this old Healey is
where it shines! The upholstery is in fantastic condition, and
shows very minimal signs of use. Much like the exterior, the
interior has been gone through and fixed up. It looks great! A
custom dash piece has been fitted to include both a modern style
radio and a 12v power outlet.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood is what makes this
Austin-Healey such a delight to drive. Equipped with an original
Austin 6-cylinder engine, this puppy really purrs! The engine was
removed from the car in 2016 to have various small repairs
performed, including the replacement of various gaskets and
repainting the engine. It sounds fantastic, and drives great! Power
meets the road at the hands of a Toyota 5-speed transmission. If
you're involved in the Austin-Healey community, you already know
that the Toyota transmission upgrade is both worthwhile and sought
after, as it requires minimal modifications when installed with the
correct conversion kit. This is a Healey that is meant to be
driven!
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: The sound! This car has a properly
British exhaust sound, and it is phenomenal.
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: The fact that it is not 100%
OEM original. The additions of things such as a third brake light
and aftermarket radio aren't for everyone.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? Not necessarily; this car can be driven and
enjoyed as-is today! It could use a few minor repairs, such as the
heater and radio, but for someone looking to cruise around in an
affordable BJ7 next weekend, this is the car.
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? The buyer for this car is
anyone looking for an affordable & unique classic British car. The
Austin-Healey brand is an essential British brand, and delivers
that distinct classic look.
