A desirable early left-hand-drive 3000 MkI BT7
Built for the North American market
A pleasant example of a versatile classic
The ideal basis for a recommissioning project
According to its British Motor Industry Heritage Trust (BMIHT) certificate, this 3000 Mk I was built during April 1959 before being despatched on 20 May 1959. An original left-hand-drive example built for the North American market, this car was apparently finished in Ivory over Red, and well-optioned. At some point in its life, this Healey appears to have been rebuilt as a BN7 two-seater. Importantly, it still retains its matching-numbers engine.
A fun classic for any enthusiast, this Healey will require recommissioning after a period of static display. Once it is ready for the road, it could be an ideal car for touring around Europe and beyond.
