Description
The Austin-Healey 3000 is the very epitome of the classic British sports car and one of the very few cars that can be said to have attained classic status whilst still in production.
Quite an achievement then, but not an altogether unexpected one considering Austin-Healey's heritage coupled with its achievements in motorsport.
Growing more civilised with each new model, the second generation Healey, the 3000 Mk II (BN7), was introduced in March 1961 with a higher performance camshaft and initially, a trio of SU HS4 carburettors which turned out to be difficult to balance and were replaced with twin HS6s with the arrival of the BJ7 in January 1962.
Known as the MK IIA, the BJ7 differed by having wind-up windows and a wrap-around windscreen and could be identified externally by a vertical barred front grille.
A total of just over 6,000 BJ7s were built. This MK IIA was despatched new to California in September 1962 where it lived the, hopefully, rather glamorous life of a 'Big Healey'...
