⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

A no-compromise grand tourer, the Healey offers reward after reward.

A tribute to Britain’s heritage of beefy sports cars, the Austin-Healey 3000 roots were founded in the low-volume sports car company headed by Donald Healey. A collaboration with Austin not only provided Healey with a series of proven engines but also shifted production volumes into the thousands. The basic design was released in 1953, but had evolved into a six-cylinder roadster within 3 years.

It found favour as a car that didn’t compromise anything and expected command and commitment from the driver, earning satisfaction by mastering its talent. By no means a difficult car to drive, its non-nonsense 1950s roots still had huge appeal by the time the 3000 appeared in 1959. By this time, exports were booming, and took precedence over the home market, which, helped by its impressive competition history, created a legend out of the Big Healey.

One of the few cars that actually became better as production continued, the BJ7 models of 1962 added concessions such as a new wrap-around windscreen, wind-up side windows and an easy-to-raise hood, but the urge of the 3-litre C Series engine mated to Twin SU HS6 carburettors made it one of the most desirable Healeys built.

This home market 1962 BJ7 MK2 3000 is finished in Colorado Red with a black interior. It comes with files of invoices back to 1986, which include body restorations, engine and gearbox rebuilds, as well as invoices for maintenance and cosmetic improvements. Sold to the current owner by a retired police sergeant, this car has seen spending of ~£22,000 in the last 3 years. Sold with an MOT until August 2026, two keys and a service just 20 miles ago, this is a well-presented example of a car that still retains its original ‘Buff’ log book and has seen decades of attention. Overall, this is a Healey which is up to scratch, not like many others around. It's in very good condition (had the Investment in the right areas) - & very drivable/useable - starts on the button!
