Vehicle Description
A brilliant red 1962 Austin Healey 3000 Mark II with a gleaming
white hardtop and matching white side stripes - now that's a color
combination that'll get your heart racing! The MkII BT7 is a sweet
spot for Healey enthusiasts, blending the larger MkII engine with
lightweight doors and removable roofs for the purest sports car
experience. Rolling on classic 15" stainless wire knock-off wheels
wrapped in period-correct 165/80R15 tires from 2009, this little
British bombshell looks ready to carve up some winding roads.
Slip inside and you're greeted by a red vinyl interior that carries
through the vibrant exterior theme. The bucket seats show some
character from miles of motoring enjoyment, but they're still ready
to hold you snug through every curve. A classic banjo-style
steering wheel puts you in command, while the center
console-mounted shifter for the 4-speed manual with overdrive falls
readily to hand, just begging you to click through the gears. Side
curtains stand ready to fend off any errant raindrops, although we
think this Healey looks best with the top stowed and the sun
shining in.
Tilt the long, sculpted hood forward and you'll find the original
numbers-matching 2.9L inline-six, fed by a trio of SU carburetors.
It's a setup that provides an addictive soundtrack from the dual
exhaust as the rpm climb. With a full $30k motor rebuild in 2020,
this powerplant is running in peak form. The front discs and rear
drums have seen recent service too, so you can drive with
confidence. And when the road opens up, just flick the overdrive
switch on the dash to settle into a cruise.
