Description

An Austin Healey remains an icon in the classic car world. The refined design with its powerful engine makes it one of the most sought-after vintage cars on the market. This Healey is one that is very special. Different from the other Healeys that you often see, so take the time to read the story of the MKII BN7 and appreciate the car's value. This only very rarely comes up for sale on the market.

This is a 1962 Austin Healey 3000 MK2 BN7 two-seater roadster with 3 carburettors. This makes this the purest and most beautiful model that Austin Healey made. In addition, the car was originally equipped with the much better and more pleasant Center-Shift gearbox. In total, only 125 of these were ever built, of which only 68 were LHD.

In May 1961, Austin Healey updated their top model by installing three SU carburettors, a different camshaft and different valve springs. This is how the MK2 variant with sportier driving behavior was created. However, the old side-shift gearbox was retained. This was only adjusted later in 1962, making this Healey the optimal performance model while retaining the refined looks that later disappeared with the MK3. This model was also the favorite car for racing and rally applications in the 1960s.

The car was sold new in the USA and later came to the Netherlands where it was completely restored in 2005. In 2019, it found its way to a Belgian Austin Healey enthusiast who decided to restore the car again in 2022 to bring it to perfection. The car is in its original color, Healey Blue, has an overdrive and chrome wire wheels.

This is a car for an enthusiast who wants a rare example in perfect condition. Feel free to come and view the car in our showroom and be convinced by its beautiful looks.
