1963 Austin-Healey 3000 Mark II BJ7 for Sale

From its introduction in 1959, the Austin-Healey 3000 was powered by the BMC C-Series engine, originally a Morris design, which by 1963 was fed by two SU HS2 carburetors when used in BJ7 applications.

The OHV six utilized solid valve lifters, had a compression ratio of 9.0:1 and was rated at 134 horsepower in BJ7 trim. Recently tuned by a British

specialist, it starts with a single tap of the accelerator. The four-speed manual transmission, the only available gearbox, is said to shift smoothly, with no clunks or thumps. A switch for engaging the Laybird-de Normanville electric overdrive is present on the dashboard.

The engine bay presents as factory original and unrestored. This Mark II was repainted in 2010 in its original factory black. The finish is described as still being in good condition, with no visible swirls.
