This 1962 Austin-Healey 3000 BT7 Mk II is a four-seat roadster that was acquired as a non-running project by the seller in 1984 and was refurbished over the next 22 years. The car is finished in blue over blue upholstery and powered by a 2.9-liter inline-six linked to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Equipment includes 15″ wire spoke wheels, a blue soft top, and triple SU carburetors. This 3000 BT7 is offered with side curtains, an unpainted hardtop, tools, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.

The body is finished in blue and was repainted under current ownership, reportedly following replacement of the floor panels and front fenders. The car is equipped with a blue soft top and tonneau, and a pair of side curtains accompany the vehicle along with an unpainted hardtop missing the rear window glass. Rust is noted around the rear seats.

Chrome 15″ wire wheels wear two-ear knockoffs and are mounted with 165-series BFGoodrich Silvertown tires. A spare painted wire wheel wearing an older tire is housed in the trunk. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. The parking brake is inoperative.

The front bucket seats and individual rear seats are trimmed in blue upholstery, which is complemented with a color-coordinated dash, carpets, and door panels.

The banjo-style steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation that consists of a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 67k miles, approximately 8k of which were added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 2.9-liter inline-six is equipped with triple SU carburetors and an electronic ignition system. An oil change was performed in the fall of 2023.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive.

Chassis number HBT7L/3849 is shown above, and the sequence is listed as the VIN on the title with a “1” in place of the slash.
