British Motor Corporation announced the release of the Austin
Healey 3000 MK1 in July 1959. Various models of the Healey 3000
series remained in production through 1967 when all Austin Healey
manufacturing ceased.
Rotisserie Restoration-
This 1960 Healey 3000 MK1/BT-7 (4-seater) has been the beneficiary
of a complete rotisserie restoration. The current owner has been
the caretaker of this stunning roadster for over 37 years and has
furnished a comprehensive history of the restoration process
including receipts. This 3000 MK1 is not a concours show car, but
it is very, very close. The frame, chassis and all body panels were
carefully prepped and beautifully refinished in 2-stage acrylic Old
English White (2379) and Colorado Red (3742), all color-sanded to a
'street concours' finish. Chrome is excellent and sparkling 15"
chrome wheels w/stainless wire spokes mount nearly new radials.
High Grade Interior-
The seats were reupholstered in high-grade red leather and, along
with the handsome red carpet, are very impressive. The matching red
top and boot cover are virtually flawless. As for the rest of the
interior, look at the photos again - this passenger compartment is
outstanding.
British Power-
The 2.9L motor resides in a spotless engine compartment and was
totally rebuilt (2010). The factory fitted the MK1 3000 series with
dual SU-HD6 carburetors and it was rated at 124bhp/167b-ft. The
Healey 4-speed is fitted with electric overdrive, and the rear
differential was factory equipped with 3.91:1 gearing. The spotless
chassis is equipped manual steering and manual Girling 11" dia.
front disc/rear drum brakes (all components rebuilt). The
suspension is front coil/rear leaf, and all suspension components
have also been carefully refreshed.
If you appreciate classic British motoring, do not delay. This is
your Austin Healy 3000 MK1 - photos do not do it justice!
ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS". TRUE MILEAGE UNKNOWN UNLESS OTHERWISE
STATED.
