1962 Austin Healey 3000 3000 MK2 BN-7 TRI-CARB, TWO-SEATER, CENTERSHIFT. Description
Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this exceedingly rare Austin Healey, the lowest production model with a scarce 355 originally produced for one year only. This car is a later centershift gearbox example, being 1 of only 125 in this desirable configuration. It has a host of extras including a superbly restored factory 2-seater hardtop ($7500 value), 2 tonneau covers (both dark green and grey), soft top, sidecurtain set, fitted storage bags, custom car cover and seat covers, etc.This Healey is believed to have resided in California during the 1980's and still retains one of it's old black/yellow license plates. In 1987, the car was purchased by an Australian who shipped the car back home. The car was carefully inspected and was found to have been completely undamaged, solid, and still retaining it's original drivetrain. The car was stripped down to literally the last nut and bolt and in an effort to keep original parts, everything was restored rather than replaced where possible. The car was repainted in cellulose lacquer for the most authentic appearance, and the interior was retrimmed in the best materials available in the original grey color.This car shows it was 100% restored by a very knowledgeable individual who knew the correctness of these cars. The car's panel fit, paint finish, chromework, and rubber all present beautifully with a slight mellowing or settling in since it's high quality restoration, with no paintwork issues.The car has been mechanically rebuilt and enhanced by a few items, which includes a spin-on oil filter, electronic ignition, oversize radiator, a 6-blade "desert" fan, and beautiful wood/alloy steering wheel. They are all worthwhile improvements to operate the car easier on a daily basis, still being completely reversible to standard retaining all of the original items. The car starts easily on the button and drives perfectly, as one would expect of a car restored to this level.The car's underside presents extremely clean and sanitary, the car having a recent and complete concours detailing.The sale of the car includes a BMIHT certificate, tool roll, jack and handle, driver's handbook, old CA license plate, and an extra key set.Overall, this rare and desirable Austin Healey 3000 MK2 BN-7 presented for sale here is in wonderful condition. This is a scarce opportunity to acquire an exquisitely restored example of this model in very nice pleasing colors, along with some sensible upgrades and options.
