1961 Austin Healey 3000 Mk 1 (BT7) to Rally Spec For Sale by Auction
Originally delivered new to Paris in 1961, it's believed that this Big Healey’s competition background commenced soon after rolling off the production line with the vehicle being shipped to Canada later that year to participate in the Canadian Winter Rally. Returning to the UK in the 1980s, the Healey was purchased by well known and respected Historic Rally Champion, Paul Howcroft, who commissioned Bob Brain, the renowned historic rally preparation specialist, to work his magic on the BT7. A full and extensive rebuild followed including conversion to right-hand drive format resulting in the Healey as we see it today.
The extensive specification includes a superb body clad externally in aluminium panels finished in BMC Competition Racing Green with an Old English White factory hard top, a full roll-cage, a 'fast road' engine incorporating an alloy cylinder head with triple Weber carburettors, six-branch manifold, a straight-cut Tulip gearbox, alloy fuel tank, all round disc brakes, Minilite knock-on alloy wheels and a competition-style interior.
Campaigned in historic rally events over the years with great success and remaining in outstanding condition throughout, the opportunity now arises for the next custodian to continue this venerable Healey's onward journey be that as a 'fast road' endurance car, an historic rally car or possibly further uprating to an FIA race car. An exciting opportunity with numerous possibilities and most of the hard work has been done.
