1960 Austin Healey 3000 MKI BT7

This 1960 Healey 3000 MK1/BT-7 (4-seater) has been the beneficiary of a complete rotisserie restoration. The current owner has been the caretaker of this stunning roadster for over 37 years and has furnished a comprehensive history of the restoration process including receipts. This 3000 MK1 is not a concourse show car, but it is very, very close. The frame, chassis and all body panels were carefully prepped and beautifully refinished in 2-stage acrylic Old English White (2379) and Colorado Red (3742), all color-sanded to a 'street concourse' finish. Chrome is excellent and sparkling 15'' chrome wheels w/stainless wire spokes mount nearly new radials. The seats were reupholstered in high-grade red leather and, along with the handsome red carpet, are very impressive. A matching red top and boot cover are virtually flawless. As for the rest of the interior, this passenger compartment is outstanding. The 2.9L motor resides in a spotless engine compartment and was totally rebuilt (2010). The factory fitted the MK1 3000 series with dual SU-HD6 carburetors and it was rated at 124bhp/167b-ft. The Healey 4-speed is fitted with electric overdrive and the rear differential was factory equipped with 3.91:1 gearing. The spotless chassis is equipped manual steering and manual Girling 11'' dia. front disc/rear drum brakes (all components rebuilt). The suspension is front coil/rear leaf and all suspension components have also been carefully refreshed. If you appreciate classic British motoring, do not delay. This is your Healey Austin 3000 MK1
