Description

This 1962 Austin-Healey 3000 BT7 is a Mark II 4-seat roadster that was built in March 1962 and sent to Montreal, Canada. It was acquired by the current owner last year and imported to Germany. The car reportedly underwent refurbishment by the previous owner. Work included a color change, new upholstery, and a refreshing the Smiths gauges. Power comes from a triple-carb 2.9L inline-six mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox, and maintenance performed in the last year is said to include a new battery, fuel pump, wheel cylinders, choke cable assembly, and more. This BT7 is now being offered by the current owner’s nephew with service records, weather gear, a tool kit, a BMIHT certificate, and a German Registration

Originally finished in Colorado Red , the body was repainted its current shade of Ivory White  following repairs of the front frame extensions as well as replacement of the rocker panels, floor pans, and trunk pan. The bumpers, door handles, fuel filler cap, and headlight trim are also said to have been replaced at this time, and a replacement windshield was fitted with new seals.

Replacement polished 15″ wire wheels with knock-off spinners wear Nankang tires. The seller states that the front brake calipers were rebuilt and the brake master cylinder, rear wheel cylinders, and rear shocks were replaced during the refurbishment. The black soft top and removable side curtains are also available.

The cabin has been reupholstered in Blue vinyl with white piping, and replacement blue carpets have been installed over Dynamat sound damping. The color-matched dashboard houses ventilation and lighting controls.

A banjo-style steering wheel fronts replacement Smiths gauges including a 120-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer. The five-digit odometer shows almost 3k miles, approximately 300of which have been added by the seller. True mileage is unknown.

The 2.9-liter inline-six features triple SU carburetors and was factory-rated at 131 horsepower. Modifications include a Texas Kooler radiator fan with a metal fan shroud, heat-wrapped exhaust piping, and a spin-on oil filter kit. Additional work performed by the seller included rebuilding the carburetors, overhauling the ignition system, and replacing the fuel tank and condenser.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with Laycock de Normanville overdrive. The u-joints, overdrive solenoids, and overdrive lockout switch were reportedly replaced by the seller. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the image gallery below.
