13959 The car offered here is one of the rarest of all Healeys, being the two-seater MkII BN7 variant of the Austin-Healey 3000, the '2+2' BT7 version being much more numerous.
The MkII BN7 was produced over a two-year period (1961-62) during which time 355 were produced.
Of this production run, only 34 were built for the home market in right-hand drive configuration, this car being one of 25 completed during 1961.
In comparison, 5,096 BT7 2+2s were built during the same two-year period.
'8000 CD' was built in late November '61 and registered in December of that same year.
In November 1961, the gearbox was redesigned with a central rather than side gear change mechanism.
Bearing in mind that the total RHD home market production of the BN7 in 1962 was a mere nine cars, it is likely that only 10 or so had the central gear change.
'8000 CD' being one of these is therefore one of the rarest variants of the 'Big Healey' ever built.
