1962 Austin Healey 3000 MK2 - BT7

A matching numbers Tri carb, central shift BT7, with only three previous owners from new, as confirmed by the Buff logbook, fully restored by professionals under the stewardship of its present owner of 22 years, it is quite some car. The care and detail given during the restoration and ownership since just shines through. This is the type of car that really is hard to repeat. We love cars like this, it drives perfectly, wants for absolutely nothing and has the previous owner’s passion running through its fuel lines.

 

With no stone left unturned and being a car that we have known and looked after for the owner, it is simply a car to drive and enjoy. The big six fires into a smooth raspy idle at the first hint of the key, the car rides and handles beautifully, probably as close to a new car as you’re likely to get this side of a fresh restoration, without the running in niggles! Pure enjoyment beckons! Thanks to the recent softening of prices on these and many other 50’s and 60’s icons, you can now enjoy a fully restored car, for less than the cost of the bodywork alone in today’s money!

 

Being a Tri-carb car, with the sought after central shift, this is a true drivers dream, it has more power, faster shifts and with overdrive available on third and top, it really does eat up the road in a way that was almost unheard of back in the early 60’s. All whilst looking incredibly classy and delivering a sonorous note from that tuned BMC C series engine. A true British classic in every sense.
