The star of the 1952 London Motor Show, the 'Big Healey' enjoyed steady development, with the early four-cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six in 1956, which in turn was replaced by the first of the 3000s in 1959.

By now the engine capacity had risen to 2912cc and the power output to 124bhp - sufficient to grace the standard car with a 0-60mph time of 11.4 seconds and a top speed of 114mph.

There was the option of Laycock de Normanville overdrive for the four-speed gearbox and braking had been improved by the adoption of discs at the front.

There were two body options - a two-seater (BN7) or an occasional four-seater (BT7).

By the time the MkI 3000 was superseded by the MkII in 1961, a total of 2,825 BN7s and 10,825 BT7s had been produced.

Recorded by the DVLA as first registered in the UK on 21 st February 1961, chassis number HBT7/9376 is the ‘BT7’ 2+2 iteration of the Austin-Healey MkI.
