Description

The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built from 1959 to 1967, and is the best known of the 'big' Healey models. The car's bodywork was manufactured by Jensen Motors, and the vehicles were assembled at BMC's Abingdon works. The 3000 was a successful car, winning its class in many European rallies in its heyday – and is still used competitively by enthusiasts today.

 The original Austin Healey 3000 had a 2912 cc (nearly 3 litres) I6 engine, with twin SU carburettors and Girling front disc brakes. It was not designated the Mark I until after the release of the Mark II, which had previously been known only as the 3000. Steel wheels, an overdrive gearbox, a laminated windscreen, a heater, an adjustable steering column, a removable hardtop and two-tone paint were all available as options. The original 3000 was built from March 1959 to March 1961 and had the model designations BT7 MkI (4-seater version) and BN7 MkI (2-seater).

 A BT7 3000 with hardtop and overdrive tested by The Motor magazine in 1960 had a top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h) and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 11.7 seconds.

 Introduced in March 1961, the 3000 Mk II was equipped with three SU HS4 carburettors and an improved camshaft. It was designated BT7 MkII (4-seater version) and BN7 MkII (2-seater version). The 3-carburettor version is easily recognizable with its vertical bar grille. If the power now reaches 132hp, the significant additional cost generated by this configuration and the need for perfect mechanical adjustment will discourage the network which will only offer this ultimate version for one year: guaranteed collector (+/- 900 units produced)!

 This example is a MkII BT7 converted into a BJ8. Originally from Switzerland, it was restored in Switzerland from the chassis and then at Marreyt Classic. Purchased in 2004 by the current owner, it has covered 7,000km in 20 years. It is in impeccable condition.
