This 1962 Austin-Healey 3000 BT7 Mk II underwent a color change to red with black leather upholstery as well as mechanical work as part of a refurbishment completed circa 1990 prior to the seller’s acquisition in 2002. The car is powered by a replacement 2.9-liter inline-six equipped with triple SU carburetors, while shifting is through a four-speed manual transmission coupled with a Laycock de Normanville overdrive unit. It is further equipped with 15″ knock-off wire wheels and front disc brakes in addition to a black soft top, a tonneau cover, and detachable side windows. This 3000 Mk II is now offered with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate and a clean District of Columbia title in the seller’s name.

The car left the factory finished in black and was stripped and repainted red as part of the aforementioned refurbishment. It is accompanied by a black soft top and tonneau cover along with removable side windows. A hood scoop, a Le Mans–style fuel filler cap, and chrome bumpers with overriders are further details.

The 15″ knock-off wire wheels are secured by two-ear knock-offs and mounted with 185-width Vredestein T-Trac tires. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.

The 2+2 cabin features bucket seats that are noted to have been re-trimmed in black leather with red piping. Further interior appointments include a heater, a dash-mounted mirror, and door storage pockets.

The banjo-style steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, a fuel-level gauge, and a combination gauge displaying oil pressure and water temperature. The five-digit odometer was reset following completion of the refurbishment and now shows 2,700 miles, approximately 1,300 of which were added following the seller’s acquisition.

The 2.9-liter inline-six featured triple SU HS4 carburetors from the factory for a rating of 136 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque. Shifting is via a four-speed manual transmission mated to a Laycock de Normanville electric overdrive unit. The seller tells us that the engine was replaced and the transmission was overhauled as part of the refurbishment and that the hydraulic reservoirs and master cylinders have since been replaced.

The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate notes a build date in February 1962 and lists factory identification numbers, colors, and equipment.
