1963 Austin-Healey 3000

Here is an Excellent example of a 1963 Austin-Healey 3000 MKII BJ7 2+2 presents stunningly in Ivory White with chrome knock-off wire wheels mounted on radial tires. Appointed in a contrasting brand new red interior featuring white piping on the front and rear seats with a black convertible top. Powered by the twin carb 2.9L inline 6 cylinder and 4 speed manual transmission with overdrive. The 1963 model year was a pivotal one for Austin-Healey. The new 3000 MKII became a far more sophisticated car shedding its prior roadster persona for that of a sports-touring convertible that now featured a newly designed windshield with wind wings, a quick-action folding roof and crank up, door windows. Now there was an Austin-Healey that had the creature comforts necessary for long-distance touring. This stood in sharp contrast to that of the early Healey 3000s, which were spartan roadsters with minimal weather protection, as evidenced by their rudimentary plastic folding top on a demountable frame and detachable Perspex plastic side curtains. The 3000 models were always coveted sports cars that distinguished themselves from their 4-cylinder British rivals with a robust and large 2.9L inline 6-cylinder engine. The popularity of the 3000 has remained constant for five major reasons: its beautiful shape; its inline 6-cylinder engine provides brisk acceleration and ample torque. Its interior appointments make for a cabin with creature comfort and its front disc brakes provide exemplary stopping power. The overdrive transmission provides effortless cruising at freeway speeds. A total of 6,113 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIIƒ_Ts were produced in 1963, and this pristine example is a rare find. The 3000 model really is a timeless classic that ultimately defines itself as one of the most beautiful British roadsters ever created. This car is beautiful from the ground up!
