THE CAR OFFERED
Looking rather splendid in its ideal sporty-car livery of bright red with black upholstery and a smattering of chrome, this 1963 3000 MkII BJ7 ticks the boxes for fans of the 'Big Healey.' This nicely restored example is offered from the long-term care of a private collector, having proudly sharing garage space with numerous other British classics. It looks particularly inviting, riding on chrome wire wheels shod with Vredestein Sprint Classic radials that fill the arches, lending a purposeful stance. This car's red livery and period Lucas driving lamps evoke the Big Healey's rally heritage. The authentically restored cockpit features black upholstery and carpets, all presented in fine fettle. A Moto-Lita three-spoke steering wheel adds a period sporty touch, while the rest of the cabin stays true to its original design. Under the bonnet, the gutsy 3-liter inline-six is equipped with twin S.U. carburetors and topped with a polished cam cover for a touch of additional bling. The engine bay is tidy and well detailed with period-correct fittings and fixtures. Following a period of storage, some recommissioning has been done, though additional work may be required before hitting the road in earnest.
In the consignor's care, this Healey was enjoyed with aplomb, participating in club events on the regular. At the Canadian Grand Prix on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, the local Austin Healey Owner's club has traditionally hosted the driver's parade, where Formula 1 drivers getting a lap of the circuit, riding in (and on!) the Healeys. At the 2004 running of the event, photos on file show this car carried none other than 7-time World Champion Michael Schumacher for his parade lap! Accompanying items include an owner's handbook, black top boot, and assorted receipts and records.
Ideal for club events and weekend tours, this desirable and versatile 'BJ7' 3000 is sure to provide many more years of British motoring joy to its next custodian.
