The seller offers for sale this 1962 Austin Healey 3000 MK II BJ7, a classic British cabriolet powered by a 2.9-liter 6-cylinder petrol engine. Restored to a high standard with photo documentation, this matching-numbers example has covered only 22,000 km since restoration. Presented in a striking combination of Colorado Red with cream-and-white leather upholstery, it features excellent mechanical condition, smooth gear changes, and the benefit of disc brakes. The car shows no issues starting, no smoke from the exhaust, and no unusual noises from the engine or gearbox. An appraisal valuing the car at €75,000 confirms its status as a desirable collector’s piece.
This cabriolet is fitted with a fabric soft top, complementing its elegant design. The roof is in well-maintained condition and pairs seamlessly with the car’s restored interior, offering stylish open-air motoring.
The Austin Healey 3000, produced from 1959 to 1967, is one of the most celebrated British sports cars of its era. Known as the “Big Healey,” it combined elegant styling with strong performance from its 6-cylinder engine, making it a favorite among enthusiasts worldwide. The MK II BJ7 introduced roll-up windows and a more practical design while retaining the raw driving character of earlier Healeys. Revered for its spirited handling, distinctive exhaust note, and rallying pedigree, the 3000 remains a highly collectible icon of postwar British motoring. This example, with its rare specification and documented restoration, represents a strong opportunity for both driving pleasure and long-term investment.
