Description
This 1962 Austin Healey 3000 MkII BN7 is a rare two-seat, centre change, triple carburettor example, fully nut-and-bolt restored on its original chassis with all original panels by Rawles Motorsport over two years. Works finished in July 2023 and elapsed a total 1, 481 hours. The car has covered just 200 miles since and is now available for sale as one of the most highly specified and beautiful original cars around.
Finished in stunning Grigio Ferro with a Bordeaux full Nappa leather interior, Maroon carpet with Bordeaux Nappa leather bound edges and Bordeaux Mohair tailored wet-weather gear. The interior is surrounded by Silver Anodised cockpit trims, twin Lucas spotlights sit up front, the body is de-bumpered, and wheels are upgraded 72 spoke centre-lock chrome wires.
This is a highly upgraded car built to a far greater quality than ever achieved by the factory, with more expensive and more consistent use of materials, a higher grade of paint finish and durability, a greatly upgraded fast road engine, increased refinement through greater strength built into the structure and sound deadening, better handling and composure through upgraded suspension and many other considerations towards a better driving experience.
