1961 AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 Mk2 BT7 2+2 ROADSTER - MANUAL + O/DRIVE - 10,290 MILES SHOWING
The 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk II BT7 is a 2+2 seater roadster known for the introduction of quite rare triple SU carburettors and a distinctive vertically slatted grille.
As a "Big Healey," it features a robust 2.9 Litre straight-six engine and was the primary production model before the transition to wind-up windows in 1962.
This example was delivered new to the Car Mart Ltd of Ealing London on the 27th of October 1961.
Presenting in it's original colour of Colorado Red and Red interior trim.
We hold a copy of the BMIHT Production Record Trace Certificate # 95/8285.
This shows some differences in it's original form, namely engine and wheel change.
We also hold acknowledgement from the Federal Government's Department of Infrastructure & Transport that this car must have entered Australia prior to 1989, which is when the Motor Vehicle Standards Act commenced the current Import Approval scheme.
