The Iconic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2024

Lot Number 224

1963 AUSTIN-HEALEY 3000 BJ7

Registration Number AKR 619B

MOT Expiry Exempt

Chassis Number HBJ722928

Transmission Manual

Body Colour Colorado Red over OEW

According to its BMIHT Copy Factory Records, the beautiful 3000 on offer here was built as a UK, right-hand drive, home-market example on 19th/20th March 1963, finished in Colorado Red with a black hide interior and a black hood and despatched to the dealership on 2nd April 1963. It was optioned from new with wire wheels, heater, adjustable steering column, servo brakes, laminated screen, an mph speedo, dip-left lights and Avon Roadspeed tyres. The original UK logbook indicates that it was first UK-registered on 2nd November 1964.

The current indicated mileage is less than 68,500 and it remains a matching chassis, body and engine numbers example. Paperwork with the car confirms that the bodywork and chassis were fully renovated in 1989 and a new hood was fitted along with a re-trim in 1991. Subsequently, £7,632 was spent with a respected gearbox specialist having a whole new overdrive box, clutch and flywheel fitted along with side-pipes and components. Our vendor has fitted sensible upgrades including modern Spax adjustable rear dampers and electronic ignition.

It's supplied with the original logbook, prior MOT Certificates, drivers handbook, the BMIHT Certificate and some classic car day show-plates. A desirable, home-market big Healey with lovely provenance and in excellent order.
