British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate Number 91/4629 Austin-Healey 3000 Mark II Convertible Chassis- H-BJ7-L/21938 Engine- 29F-RU-H/2787 Body-57763 Production- 10 January 1963 Colorado Red / Black I am listing this Healey for a good friend, who has raced, owned, and restored British sports cars for years. He knows his stuff inside and out, and this car has benefited while in his ownership. The present owner has built a collection of four Austin-Healey 3000’s and really understands and enjoys these cars tremendously. He bought this Colorado Red car in 2008 from a collector who had owned the car for ten years, from 1998-2008. That prior owner had only put 950 miles on the car over ten years and when the present owner took possession of the car, he commissioned a mechanical freshening that became a thorough mechanical rebuild (@ $15,000 worth) to exemplary standards. Correct parts were sourced from specialist Moss Motors and the mechanical restoration was performed by the skilled vintage car staff at Zakira’s Garage in Cincinnati, Ohio. In its present state, the car is in outstanding mechanical condition and ready to be driven anywhere. Underneath, the frame and undercarriage are straight and totally solid. Also, cosmetically the car had received a sympathetic restoration in the 1990’s that included new floorboards and a full repaint. It presents super in Colorado Red / Black and shows appropriate and appealing patina in its paint, chrome, and interior. In short, she is a gorgeous and exceptionally strong driver, with a fantastic presence. Get in and enjoy! Priced fairly to sell easily, and be enjoyed soon by its new owner. Inspections welcome by appointment. Details - Less than 100 miles on complete mechanical rebuild. Done right and with care.
