The Appeal
If you're a Healey enthusiast who prefers driving to showing, then this elegant BT7 Mk1 is made for you. It's a tidy and presentable car, but its sound mechanical condition is its main strength, reinforced by recent servicing advised by the seller.
As a Mk1, this car is the purist iteration of the 3000 lineage, largely retaining the authentic aesthetics of the 100/6 but with more power and improved braking capability. It's classically finished in Healey Blue with dark blue roof and a neat 2+2 beige leather cabin. It sports the clean rally-style look that's highly appreciated.
The bodywork shows signs of use, notably a few dents to the rear and minor scuffs, but would be free from rust. The interior presents in good overall condition, though the carpets and dashboard would benefit from some attention. With recent invoices documenting work carried out and an MOT valid until May 2029, this is a Big Healey for someone who values driving pleasure and mechanical soundness over concours perfection.
The seller states:
"A very honest example that's perfect for someone who loves to drive and can appreciate a nice patina. The car starts very well, runs very well, drives and changes gear very well. A sound car with reliable mechanicals."
