A True Roadster
Originally introduced as a performance upgrade to the Healey line, the Austin-Healey 3000 quickly earned a reputation for its robust inline-six engine, competitive handling, and transcontinental appeal. The BT7 model, produced between 1959 and 1961, offered the longer wheelbase and occasional rear seating that made it a favorite among touring enthusiasts.
This example underwent a professional restoration approximately a decade ago, and it shows. From the crisp body lines to the stunning black and English ivory two-tone paint, the finish is both elegant and timeless. The wire wheels, brightwork, and polished trim lend just the right amount of vintage sportscar flair.

Interior & Mechanical Highlights:
• Beautifully upholstered black leather interior with caramel inserts and piping
• Detailed engine bay showcasing the strong-running 2.9L inline-6
• Smooth-shifting 4-speed manual gearbox, offering a proper classic driving experience
• Believed to have matching numbers (verification on request)
• Comes with a comprehensive history binder including: restoration documents, manuals
• Well-maintained and regularly exercised to preserve mechanical integrity

Few classics capture the magic of the open road like a "Big Healey," and this BT7 stands out for its originality, restoration quality, and overall presentation. It's a car that draws admiration at shows, yet is mechanically sound and ready for spirited drives on winding backroads. Whether you're looking to expand a collection or finally step into the world of British motoring, this Healey offers the perfect opportunity.
