The Austin-Healey 3000 was announced in March 1959, the new model being based on the previous 100-Six chassis with minor body changes.
Importantly it incorporated the new 'C' Type 2.9-litre engine with compression ratio of 9:1, a 10 Inch clutch, with Girling disc brakes up front completing the specification.
Following the potential shown by forays in International Rallying using Austin-Healey 100-Six Rally cars, a further three of the new 3000 BN7 Type, two seater chassis were allocated to the BMC Competitions Department for 1959.
