1962 Austin Healey 3000 MK II

1962 Austin Healey 3000 BT7 Mk II Description

This is not an average Austin Healey. It is mechanically very sound and a strong driver.
The restoration was done for the purpose of having a Healey to drive and enjoy which I have done. It is not a trailer queen but has won numerous trophies including best in show twice. So it drives very well and shows just as well.
The photo tell most of the story but I'll add some items here: Please not that the pictures show a date 8 years old. THAT IS NOT CORRECT. I THINK THE CAMERA DATE WAS NOT PROPERLY. ALL THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN BETWEEN MONDAY, APRIL 4TH AND SATURDAY APRIL 9TH. SORRY FOR THIS ERROR....THEY ARE NOT OLD PICTURES.

One other item of interest. The original block is not in the car but I have it and will include if matching numbers are important to you. The damage to the block is very minimal. A small chip the size of a quarter out of the bottom of #5 which can be sleeved.I don't know the bore but itwas bored at some time. If you are not a "stickler" I can provide the block number label only although that is not exactly ethical if you plan to do concours....just know that.
