51-Years-Owned 1964 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ7 MKII

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

As the “Big Healey” continued to evolve, the 1965 MKII BJ7 offered a 2+2 configuration and came equipped with front disc brakes, a significant improvement over earlier generations. With many updates introduced for the MKII variant in 1961, just over 5,000 examples were produced before between 1961-1964 before the MKIII BJ8 hit the showroom floor later that year.

Acquired by the seller in 1975, this ‘64 BJ7 was refinished in Healey Blue circa 2013. Additional refurbishment work included replacement of the blue fabric top, carpet, and leather interior, and this example sits on 60-spoke wire wheels.

The 2.9L inline-six was reportedly overhauled in 2008 and features dual SU carburetors sending power to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Upgrades are said to include electronic ignition and a spin-off oil filter conversion, and a Moss Motors alternator kit is included with the sale.

This 1964 Austin-Healey 3000 is now offered with a matching spare wheel, a tonneau cover and convertible top boot, British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, and a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.
