Hello, and thank you for taking a look at our 1960 Austin Healey 3000 MK1, BT7. Finished in a classic English White, over a rich Dark Blue interior. This example of a Big Healey, we have known for many years. Turn key condition, runs, drives, and brakes beautifully. This Healey needs nothing to be enjoyed this summer. Complete with side curtains, and top. This Healey is a 2+2. A great many Healeys that are offered for sale are terribly incorrect restorations or are poorly maintained; this is NOT that car. Fantastic original color combination, lovely patina, great power, cherished example. Service History Bare bones, soup to nuts restoration completed in 1996, just 7000 miles ago. We do not have the restoration receipts. Prior owner kept them. Chassis #: HBT7L/ 12197 Engine #: 29DRU/H 21447 The Austin-Healey sports car is synonymous with a particular era of British sports car production, and is similar to Jaguar in many ways. Both companies built strong, reliable and affordable cars for the North American market, their strongest and safest market, and the cars evolved model by model over the years. It is the 3000 model that most people remember as the definitive Healey. The first 3000 was introduced in the spring of 1959, featuring a six-cylinder 2912-cc motor with overhead valves and pushrods, producing 124 bhp at 4,600 rpm with a top speed of 115 mph. The gearbox was four-speed with overdrive on third and fourth. The suspension consisted of front independent coil springs and a live axle with half-elliptic springs in the rear. Front disc brakes were introduced on the 3000. Two body styles were available, a two-seater (BN7) or a 2+2 (BT7).
