FOR SALE 1960 Austin Healey 3000, Mk1, BN7 (2-seater)
I purchased the car in Oct. 2020 a few years after it was restored. It had been living in Michigan.
It is a fun vehicle to drive, it has an extremely smooth ride with no vibrations, squeaks or rattlers, has plenty of torque and does not overheat even when left idling in the heat of the afternoon… A month after I took delivery, the BN7 developed some engine problems which necessitated a complete engine rebuild. It was sent to "The Toy Shop" restoration shop in San Diego where it spent a year getting the engine rebuilt and having a list of other issues addressed. It has been driven very little since its return to Camarillo. It is stored in a locked garage, under two separate car covers (one cover is made from quilted, heavy-duty moving blankets), The BN7 is mechanically sound, and as far as I know needs no additional mechanical work. It is an aesthetically stunning vehicle and is an outstanding example of the 2-seat Austin Healey BN7.
Here are a few particulars:
Rebuilt engine (break-in oil just changed).
Ring and pinion gear set (rear-end differential gears) replaced with a new, higher, 3.54 gear set to make the car more “freeway friendly”. (70mph at 3,000rpm)
New SU carbs from the SU factory in the UK and not Chinese copies.
New MICHELIN XWX tires (185/70 VR 15).
New 72-spoke wire wheels.
Comes with soft-top, tonneau cover and plastic, sliding side windows.
The BN7 does not vibrate, rattle or squeak; as a matter of fact when driving on a smooth-surface road you can read the license plate numbers of the car following you in the BN7’s rear-view mirror. The car is mechanically sound and aesthetically stunning. Truly a lovely example of the early 2-seat Austin Healey 3000, Mk1, BN7 (2-seater)
The BN7 comes with a 3-ring binder holding multiple invoices for work done during its year long stay at “The Toy Shop Restoration” in San Diego, California. Binder also contains all DMV paperwork and receipts for everything else done to and purchased for the BN7...
The car has a clean California Title.
Price $75,000
