Vehicle Description
1961 Austin Healey 3000 MKI BN7 Two Seater; the MK1 is the original
3000 built from March 1959 to March 1961. The BN7 has two SU HD6
carburetors mated to the 2912CC motor with a 4 speed manual
transmission with overdrive.
It appears that this 1961 Austin Healey is an original paint car as
well as many of the interior components although the seats have
been recovered. The 50,941 miles and engine are said to be original
to the car although we do not have a Heritage Certificate. When
looking into the engine bay you will find it to be very original as
well as other areas throughout the car.
This Austin Healey is a very unique example of a very original car
with original paint. Some minor rust on the rear dog legs, some
dings and dents and of course with the original paint some spots of
the original primer showing through. Not many original cars left
most have been pulled apart and restored.
They are only original once!
