The BT7 offered was manufactured in 1962 and was subsequently modified for historic rallying - eg the Monte Carlo Challenge. Time and money has been spent on bringing it up to Works-style rally/race specification, by fitting: triple Webers, alloy cylinder head, alloy radiator, Tulip gearbox, limited slip differential, Avon ZZ tyres, additional electrics and a Works hardtop. Finished in Red and White with a black interior, 'TSV 240' was apparently third overall in last year's Austin Healey Sprint and Hillclimb Championship. The vendor tells us that the 'Big Healey' has "good" coachwork, paintwork, gearbox and interior and an "excellent" engine producing 200bhp at the wheels.
