Austin Healey 3000 MKII 3 carbs 1961

With 3 carbs built only a very short period.... US documents with import certificate in the netherlands. Dutch import documents, import duties have been paid. Original birth certificate from the BMIH trust present. Many loose parts in box are included.

This car, manufactured in Abingdon, England, is the successor to the Austin Healey 3000 Mark I, which was manufactured between 1959 and 1961. The Austin-Healey BT7 2+2 Roadster with three carburetors, of which only 5,096 were built, is considered the most advanced model of the Big Healey Roadsters. This model was produced for just over a year as an interim model before the introduction of the BJ7. The BT7 combines the classic low roadholding and handling of Healey roadsters with a sleek design and quick response. This is enhanced by the power and responsiveness of the triple SU HSF4 carbureted engine, found only in this model and in its 2-seat variant, the BN7.

This 2-door convertible, equipped with 2+2 seats, features a built-in frame for the folding roof, but the cover is missing. In addition, there is a tonneau present whose zipper needs repair. The current owner purchased an additional hardtop with rear window, which, although intact, still needs to be finished. The car was purchased by the current owner in 2010 for the purpose of preparing it for rallies. Despite the considerable work that has been done (as shown in the accompanying invoices), the project is not yet fully completed.

Significant work has already been done on the car, including the installation of a new radiator and alloy fuel tank, and the bottom plates have been professionally redone. In addition, the hardtop has been purchased, and the engine has been completely professionally overhauled. The car now needs the final finishing touches: the water hoses need to be installed, the bumpers are present but still need to be mounted, and the seats need to be attached to the renewed bottom. The car is equipped with beautiful red leather seats and wire wheels.

There are invoices present for work and parts performed worth more than €10,000, including VAT, in addition to work already done by the current owner himself. Although not in showroom condition, the paint is in reasonable condition, appropriate to the purpose for which the car was built: driving.
