Austin-Healey 3000 BT7

Commentaire Austin-Healey 3000

This car was restored to be driven.  It is in excellent mechanical condition and is rust-free.  It is not a show car but it is not priced as one either. It was restored to be driven and enjoyed.

Don't buy this car if you are shy.  When you drive it you will have people stop and stare, take photos, and come up to talk with you about it.  It draws attention better than any modern car.
Restoration
The car has recently undergone a complete fully documented restoration. It is licensed and registered in Luxembourg and passed the rigid technical inspection in July 2023.

Engine
The original engine was replaced by a previous owner with a 29K series engine. This is the largest and most powerful of the Austin Healey Engines. During the restoration, the engine was inspected from the bottom and everything looked to be in very good condition.  Everything was cleaned, inspected, and reassembled.  The engine runs very well and should have a long life ahead of it.

Transmission
The transmission only needed cleaning on the outside and standard maintenance.  The 4-speed manual transmission works very well and the fully functional electric overdrive makes the car a joy to drive.

Chassis
The original chassis was kept but some work was needed. New outriggers were added as well as new floorplans and inner and outer sills. It now has a solid foundation to start your adventures.

Bodywork
To keep the history of the car intact as much of the original metal was kept as possible.  The car is painted in its original Old English White color.  The paint is a single-stage paint that looks close to the original lacquer paint by the factory.
