Auction description:
Freshly restored BJ7 subtly upgraded to 'fast-road' spec.

Full chassis-up restoration just completed
Traditionally finished in British Racing Green with painted wire wheels
Immaculate, 2+2 Red Hide interior with a Black Mohair soft top
Mechanically upgraded to fast road specification including engine to BJ8 standard
Other enhancements include a stainless manifold and exhaust, high torque starter, alternator and disc brakes
So fresh in fact is the rebuild that a period of running in is recommended

Finished in British Racing Green with Red Hide and a Black Mohair roof and, with a total restoration just completed, this particular Austin-Healey Mk llA BJ7 (2+2) is in outstanding condition throughout. Subtly modified both mechanically and aesthetically, it's now ready to be enjoyed once again. With bumpers removed, black painted wire wheels, side-exit exhaust and the cleverly recessed spotlights, it certainly has that 'fast road' appeal and stands out from the crowd. Mechanical improvements include the engine being upgraded to BJ8 specification and lightened and balanced, stainless steel headers and side-exit exhaust, high-torque starter, alternator, all round disc brakes and much more. Cosmetically, the finish is as good on the underside as it is on top with the restorer having paid particular attention to originality with every component fitted being new or sympathetically rebuilt.

With all the hard work now completed, it's time for this stunning 3000 to find a new home as another project looms and space is required. Now offered at a fraction of its restoration costs, it has to be worthy of your serious consideration. A detailed specification sheet is available upon request.
