heater, new carpets and seats and turn-key ready to drive and enjoy
today!According to the renown 'Automotive Information
Clearinghouse' of La Mesa, California, certificate as of 2/24/1989
states that only 1,296 of these particular early Austin Healeys
were left with obviously far less available now some 33 years
later! These certified milestone cars are becoming thinner on the
ground every year that passes and therefore will undoubtedly prove
a very worthy investment to the astute collector.Purchased from a
long time southern California owner with original California
license plates and obviously always garaged! The engine is smooth
and responsive with the renown Healey rumble identifying the Healey
straight six as much as a Ferrari's sound does it's V12! The 4
speed transmission with the highly desirable Overdrive option
shifts smoothly through all the gears, including the reverse gear
and the overdrive function works as it should which means it works
through all the gears and not just as a fifth speed which is great
for highway driving! The car looks extremely impressive in striking
'Red over Olde English White' paint and the Black interior with Red
piping is in exceptional condition also with original gold type
gauges which are all in correct working order! The new black soft
top is in great shape, both functionally and otherwise and the car
boasts its side curtains and a full tonneau cover. The car had four
new chrome wire knock off wheels with new tires and a spare
aluminum wire wheel (not chrome) in its correctly mounted position
in the trunk. As stated earlier, the engine is extremely strong and
powerful and sounds absolutely magnificent - this is a rare
opportunity to own a great daily driving BT-7 2+2 roadster -
perfect for the Austin-Healey enthusiast or simply a perfect daily
driver for any British sports car enthusiast or collector!
