The Austin Healey 3000 has become one of the best-known British classic cars of the 1950s and 1960spectacular success in international rallying and circuit racing. A development of the Austin Healey 100-6, itself born of the four-cylinder 100, the 3000 was launched in March 1959 and was a significant improvement on the earlier cars featuring front disc brakes, wire wheels as standard and a more powerful (124bhp) 2,912cc BMC C-Series engine, enabling a top speed of approximately 120mph. There was also a choice of 2-seater (BN7) or 2+2 (BT7) body styles.
The Mark II (BN7) was introduced in March 1961 with a higher performance camshaft and, initially, a trio of SU HS4 carburettors which turned out to be difficult to balance and were replaced with twin HS6s with the arrival of the BJ7 in January '62. Known as the 'Mark IIA', the BJ7 differed by having wind-up windows and a wrap-around windscreen and could be identified externally by a vertical barred front grill. A total of just over 6,000 BJ7s were built.
This, left-hand drive, Healey 3000 (BJ7) was imported from the US in 2013 following a comprehensive restoration. The vendor reports the car was subject to a bare metal respray in the unusual and attractive colour combination of Mustard over Ivory and the seats and dashboard were reupholstered in Blacked piped in Yellow. This year, our vendor has fitted a new toughened alloy sump for better cooling, changed the engine oil, filter and gearbox oil, and fitted a new overdrive solenoid. Further work under his ownership includes repairing the overdrive kick down/ throttle linkage, fitting new oil seals in the back axle, new back hubs, new brakes, and persuading the handbrake to work. A new electric fuel pump and a new wiper rack and blades were also fitted resulting in this honest example currently being free of 'gremlins'. With its Moto-Lita steering wheel and sitting on chrome wires, the Healey presents really well. Offered at a most realistic level today, this lovely BJ7 has been the subject of significant expenditure in recent years and would make a fine touring companion. The cherished number, PO 5074, (recently valued at £2,000) will remain with the car.
