1961 Austin Healey 3000 MKII BN7 Tri-Carb
Built on the 10th October 1961. This version of the Austin Healey 3000 MKII Tri-carb is the rarest of all the production Healeys with only a total 355 produced worldwide making these rarer than the 100/4 Factory 100M models.
The car is an original UK RHD and was the 145th out of 355 MKII 2-seaters to be produced. This was also the last UK RHD car to be assembled before the later centre change gearbox was introduced.
With sales for the MKII 4-seater BT7 versions well exceeding 2-seater BN7 models, 2-seater production ceased in March 1962. All future production models were of 2+2 configuration. This 2-seater version of the 3000 MKII is a highly desirable long-term investment with fully restored cars fetching high prices at auction.
The car remains fully matching numbers. This includes chassis, body, engine and rear axle. The original chassis, body and engine plates remain on the car. The heritage certificate also confirms that the car retains its original key that it left the factory with and has been restored to its Heritage Certificate specification using all the cars original components where possible. The only change from the original build spec has been the interior colour choice. Originally the car left the factory with a black vinyl interior. The decision was made to upholster the car with a smooth grain red leather interior to contrast and enhance against the old English white body.
This is a 100% full restoration with all metalwork, paintwork, mechanical & upholstery completed inhouse by ourselves at JME Healeys.
This car comes complete with a full detailed photographic record of the completed restoration process, spare key, drivers’ handbook, supplementary handbook and original MKII sales brochure.
This car is undoubtably one of the finest restored Austin Healeys in the world and is available for immediate inspection at our premises.
