1961 Austin Healey 3000 Description

1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BT7 Mark II Tri-carb Roadster

I have owned this Austin-Healey Tri-carb Roadster for twenty years and had the car professionally restored six years ago. I have driven the car only 1000 miles since being restored. It is in pristine condition, runs great and enjoyable to drive. Car comes with a restored factory Hardtop plus Heritage Sunfast Tonneau and Soft Top.

The car was restored as a traditional Austin-Healey with upgrades that improve performance and appearance. This includes a Heritage Blue Interior with Connolly Leather Hides; Wilton Dark Blue Wool Carpet; Quaife Limited Slip Differential; 3.545 to 1 Lempert Ring & Pinion; 72 Spoke Chrome Wire Wheels.
